in addition to that, regardless, they do accurately reflect YOUR stated original statements....

Thanks for drawing that out JD, you caught the drift while I think bob took the wrong spin on it.
And then bob responds to JD, NOT YOU.

His re-statement of the position DOES, in fact, directly reflect the original sentiment, as I have established (bob says "incorrect is different than ignorant", JD says "no its not", you say "JD is correct, that is what i meant".)
Seems pretty clear cut to me.
