- You said, 'It's not even responsive to the fragment that you
- quoted'.
-
- Earlier you had said, '[People] are not required to stick to
- the subject of your choosing.'
-
- The point is that you have two standards--one for yourself,
- and another for other people. You're allowed to change the
- subject, but other people are expected to stick to the subject.
-
- I didn't pretend to claim that you meant 'Illegal means wrong'.
- I guess you wanted to change the subject so people wouldn't
- recognize your double standard. Have fun wiggling out of it.
