(9,799 posts)Your response, "Huh? Clarity in language is good," strongly suggests you didn't understand what mac56 was saying rather than that you disagreed.
Mac's response to you saying, "Keeping Trump out of the White House is the overriding point", was, "Don't worry he won't be there for long." It just seems a more logical answer from you would have been something along the lines of, "Any length of time is too long to have Trump as president!"
Just in terms of logical discussion, which seems to be frequently lacking here, that would have been more productive than saying the person wasn't clear.
But then, "Huh? Clarity in language is good," wasn't particularly clear in itself, so maybe I misinterpreted what you meant.
Seems to be a lot of that going around. Nothing personal, I just happened to be in a replying mood when I read and responded to your post.
I've just been lately really noticing that "discussions" on DU could really benefit from all of us trying to express ourselves more clearly and reading more carefully what others write. And that includes being willing to read a bit more than might be easy before jumping to TLDR.
Have a lovely weekend.
