The examples you used would have been pulled as "personal attacks" which are not allowed anywhere on Free Republic.

Back to "making it personal" by reading minds...

If I say "you believe" it is reading your mind. But if I say, "evidently, you believe" it is expressing my own mind, not reading yours.

Likewise, if I say "you're ignorant" it is reading your mind. But if I say "evidently, you're ignorant" it is expressing my own mind, not reading yours.

Thanks for the clarification. My only thought was that it might be making more work for you which is the last thing any of us want. 8~)

If it’s a useful, functional distinction for you, that’s plenty good enough for me.

Anything to make it relatively easier to herd this stinking pile of cats!
