[MD] The meaning of "meaning".

In case you can't understand what I mean about always arguing about arguing instead of simply arguing, see above.

I wonder if you really do see it that way. From my perspective, I am forced to argue about the argument because of your distortions. I have to remind of who said what and why to correct those distortions. I have to deny claims and statement that you attribute to me even though I never said any such thing nor believe any such thing. (Asserting free will as a metaphysical entity, for example, or your conversion of my little self and Big self into gods, to mention another.) And in this case, you called me all kinds of names for continuing to participate in an ongoing conversation in which I was named and quoted. 

Think about it, Steve. I complain about your tactics precisely because they ruin any chance of having a real conversation. 

Either your intentions are malicious or you're just not as smart as I imagined. Either way, your tactics are bullshit and I'm going to let you get away with it. As long as you distort things, I will try to straighten them out. I don't WANT to hurt your feelings but that shit just doesn't fly.
