Let me remind you what I WAS responding to with my comment:
Y’all sure make it easier to understand naysayer’s mangling of Scripture given how much y’all —mangle my words; —put erroneous words in my fingers; —put erroneous thoughts in my head; —put erroneous motivations in my heart; yadda yadda yadda Impressive.
All anyone CAN do is read what someone writes or says and base what they comprehend on both the words chosen and, in this forum, the history of past comments. Not only that, but, if you noticed, I am not alone in reading your inference in every word choice you make. Do you accuse your students of "ascribing their inferences and assumptions" about what you say in class? Is it their fault if you do not make yourself understood and at least be consistent? How long do you think this "I'm so misunderstood" gripe is gonna hold up?
For some reason,
My students don’t have such problems with what I say. I can’t think of a single case lo these many years. If someone misunderstands, or is not clear, they ask questions. I train them to do that very early and give them a variety of ways to do so. Also, the bulk of the rest of the class is quick to help set the occasionally mystified student straight.
However, in terms of the misconstructions on what I say that are so common on FR, THOSE JUST DON’T OCCUR in my classroom. And THAT is really fascinating.
All the more so because as Joya and a list of students—one or more who’s a FREEPER—would attest—what you see on FR is pretty much what you get of me in any context.
However, Maybe I shouldn’t have answered your post at all. It may be over the line into making it personal.
