Poor dumb old ThiChi. So stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is. Let's see how stupid he is:
: Can’t you ever admit that you can be wrong?
Sure, but since I'm not in this instance, there's nothing to admit. You, on the other hand, are still quite unable to admit that you're unable to comprehend the subtlties of language.
: Your explanation begs the question: If you did not mean what you said, then what did you mean?
What a moron! I already explained to you: I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. The fact that you are too stupid to understand that words can have several meanings, and in this case have subtle differences in meaning, is your lookout.
: You failed to address any of your absurd comments I have cited. But, what can we expect from a fraud?
Coming from someone who doesn't understand English, and thinks that governments are truthful, what more can be said?
: Your rationalization of the word "Manipulation" is extraordinary.
There is no rationalization, you moron. I presented standard dictionary definitions and explained my use of the word "manipulation" in accord with them.
: Bill Clinton would be proud.
George Bush would be proud of you. Your levels of intelligence and use of the English language are on a par.
: Your JW-ish approach is very telling too.
Ah, I see that you can understand enough of what you read to learn how to deliver serious insults. Unfortunately, your attempt is akin to that of a small child seeing an adult doing something it doesn't like, and shouting, "You have a booger on your face!"
: I stand by my words used even by your own definition.
Then you're even more stupid than I thought.
: To state that it cannot mean "control," even by the definition you provide, is laughable.
I did not say that it cannot mean control. I said that my usage of it was in accord with the other meanings -- which in your desperate attempt to be "right", you have either ignored or simply not understood. Therefore you're either a liar or abysmally stupid. Which is it?
: You are one desperate person. I accept any other word you want to use in its place. It all means the same, control....
Ok, you're just plain stupid.
: Once more, taking a closer look at your expressions can be very telling:
: """On the contrary, I meant managed, used, played upon, doctored, handled, maneuvered, beguiled, exploited, finessed, jockeyed, machinated. I meant it in the same way that the above example in the thesaurus does: "the sycophant cleverly manipulated his master". That means that he fooled his master into doing what he wanted; he did not control his master, or he would have been the master. """
Obviously you do not understand the difference between "control" and the bolded words above. I.e., you're stupid.
: What you left out was the word "Control" that Webster used as an example of what the word means by example ( the Sycophant.......). Why did you leave the word Control out of the example given by Webster?
Because, as I have explained several times, words do not have just one meaning. They often have several meanings. In this example, I explained why I used the example. The fact that you cannot understand this explanation yet again proves how unbelievably stupid you are.
: Why did webster not use the many words that you have put forth with the example, but used Control? Even the sub meanings to the words you describe can take you to "Control."
Webster's assumes that people reading the many shades of meaning can ascertain which of those meanings to apply in an example.
: You seem to be as artful as the Watchtower in running away from what you write.
Not at all. I've explained very clearly the exact meaning of what I wrote. Once again, you are simply too stupid and biased to understand simple English sentences.
: Again, its all there, and to not even admit that "control" is a fair use of describing "Manipulated" when it also fits your stated context to a tee, shows you up for what you are.
No, it proves that you do not understand the shades of meaning in various English words.
: I am not the liar or stupid one here, as you falsey accused me of for using the word control.
You're an amazingly stupid dullard. Do you know what it means to use various forms of words? Words like "control", "to control", "controlled", "controlling", "will control", "had controlled" and so forth are forms of the same word. Obviously you don't even understand enough English grammar to realize this.
: You only started this to cover up the real issue: Your radical viewpoints related to the free flow of information and your general ignorance of Government involvement related to the media
I think that your naivete in thinking that governments generally tell the truth in wartime is charming.
: (I hold a Degree in Journalism, and have, in the past, worked for a number of media outlets, Scripps Howard and The LA Times, to name two), So I do know something about this issue.
Obviously they fired you for not knowing much about politics.
: Your reply is disingenuous and absurd. I feel pity for you......
Your replies are stupid and indicate that behind them is a naive, arrogant ignoramus. I would feel pity for you but for the arrogance.
As for the rest of your posts to me, I think I'll leave it to readers to judge who is the moron here.
