Is anyone else having trouble posting? I just tried to pull 2 quotes and somehow it's not picking them up when I click the multi-quote buttons. My reply window doesn't show them when clicking the post button. Anyway... it still works to quote them one at a time, then copy/paste them in. (Weird.)
I saw one of Lady G's posts again where she comments about the phrasing I used being inaccurate. Speaking of "slip ups," Lady G... looks like someone else needs to be more careful with their wording. I wasn't as far off in my post as you were in yours.
Here's my post again from earlier. And the line Lady G makes so much of is highlighted in red, just like she colored it in her post when she quoted me.
I'd looked at the thread and stated I was drawing votes. Okay, simple enough. I was vague about that when I should have been specific.
Here's where Lady G pulled my post to question me about this.
Lady G... this was obviously a high concern for you in deciding whether I'm likely to be pro-town or one of the vampires. You choice this point as your basis for voting me when you could have cited other reasons instead.
Let me ask you why you "slipped up" as well by rephrasing my original sentence differently than I actually wrote it? Was that just being careless, vague, or inaccurate at the time? Or were you intending to slightly alter my intended meaning?
Present tense: I said I was drawing votes. And yes at the time, I thought I was.
The way I phrased that is pretty close, actually, to what I meant to say at the time... as I was, it appeared from the posts I'd just seen, in the process of drawing votes.
Past tense: For some reason Lady G was less accurate about this than I was.... saying I saw I had drawn votes.
Lady G and I both know/agree I had not drawn votes already at the time I posted that. Then Lady G decided to use this line to vote me while accusing me of "slipping up."
More to the point of the matter... I think. Is what exactly does this "slip up" reveal to the rest of you in terms of whether my role is innocent or evil? Though I always strive to be as clear and precise as I can be in my word choice, grammar, and phrasing to avoid possible misunderstandings, even I'm not going to do this flawlessly in every post I make. No one is.
But how does this on its own, indicate innocence or guilt? How would it have mislead anybody about anything for me to mistakenly claim I had votes on me when I didn't... yet? I don't see the point of the fuss Lady G made/keeps making over that one line. She already has plenty of other reasons to vote me if that's what she wants to do.
