Maybe I'm just stupid.

Maybe some charitable person can explain to me what I am failing to grasp about this.

I asked whether someone was saying X. The response was that that person had not expressed an opinion about X and did not intend to express an opinion about X.

Okay.

I took that to mean that that person was not saying X.

I ask you "Are you saying that you are going to vote Libertarian in the upcoming election?" You answer "I am not saying how I will vote in the upcoming election." Doesn't that mean "No"? -- "No, I am not saying that I am going to vote Libertarian in the upcoming election"?

Sure, it also means "I am not saying that I am not going to vote Libertarian in the upcoming election."

Of course. It means "Maybe I will vote Libertarian in the upcoming election; maybe I won't; and I am not telling you which."

Okay, fine. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

Where is the problem?

What am I missing?

I no longer have any clue about who said what to whom. Everyone here has subbed in what someone supposedly said to another when neither were even talking to or aobut he other (as far as I can see). So it's down to I did not say this to him and yse you did and not only you said it to me. Give it a rest and let this thread die the death it should and let the street sweeper come and sweep up the shit that is all over this thread.

That is a consequence of the fundamentally misbegotten nature of this thread.

Lord Jim started this thread simply as an attempt to mask his inability to produce anything of substance in the public-nudity thread.

When a thread is begun as an evasion, its turning into a shitpile naturally ensues.

Perhaps Lord Jim is, while we still wallow in our infancy, right.
It is good ... nor to do anything whereby the brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
(Romans 14:21.)
Now we exhort you, brethren ... comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak ....
(I Thessalonians 5:14.)

Perhaps I should support the weak and feeble-minded who cannot get past the silly idea that public nudity is a bad thing. But if so, we should never forget where the weakness lies.
