And I'm not going to be associated with Fred Thompson by people who'd love nothing more than to claim he's being backed by someone who's abused a woman.

Profoundly sorry, Darkwolf, but you must admit the sentence above is just a little bit, um, impenetrable.

No harm meant.

What did you actually mean to say?

Interesting how instead of replying to my last post, you had to back up to one you already answered.

My sentence made perfect sense in context. I'll type slowly:

You suggested my personal life wasn't perfect, as if that were the issue with Moriarty. In fact, the issue is that Moriarty was arrested for hitting a woman.

Following so far?

*I*--DW--am not going to be associated with Fred Thompson by people who'd love nothing more than to claim he's--Fred's--being backed by someone who's abused a woman--Moriarty.

A complex sentence, sure. But perfectly acceptable grammatically, and perfectly understandable to anyone with eighth-grade-level reading comprehension. Unless you're trying to dodge the issue.

Class dismissed.
