I believe it was you who criticized my statement, much earlier, that "presumably, the other party is the government." If it was you, then you stand corrected: I was indeed quoting Hobbes faithfully. I was alluding to something much earlier in the conversation.
I wasn't debunking Hobbes definition at that time, because I'd already done so. Try to keep up.
"I believe it was you who criticized my statement,..."
Correct.
If it was you, then you stand corrected: I was indeed quoting Hobbes faithfully.
So you were humorously pointing out that I disagree with Hobbes.
