No. They. Did. Not!
They pointed out their view of the entire context of what Fred may or may not have meant. As I said before, it really doesn't matter what you or I think. So stop wasting your breath trying to call me a liar when you cannot reconcile the fact that Fred has colored his perception to others all on his own.
Instead of repeating the same thing over and over again, I suggest we wait for the next few primaries to see what others think about Fred... hmmm?
Backpedaling, John? You wouldn't have to do that if your original assertion wasn't demonstrably false. Next time I suggest you choose your words more carefully; you might not have to eat them again.
Yes. They. Did!! (What’s next, big red fonts?)
Words have meaning, you didn’t like the meaning of what he actually said, so you substituted your own. In doing so, you lied.
