People have tried that with you, and then they get "see post #127" as a response.
"See post #127" is the clarification. If I say "My favorite food is steak" on post 127 and I get asked what my favorite food is on post 150, 175, 189, 200, etc., then obviously you weren't reading the thread. At that point, I see no further reason to continue to repeat myself. If you're not going to take the time to read what was said before you joined the thread, then you should limit your participation. Don't expect people to regurgitate information because you're lazy. Furthermore, when I give you the exact post that answers your question, you are spending more time complaining about my response than it would take for you to get the answer you seek.

People may not realize they haven't understood it though. They may have simply understood something slightly different, or assumed that you had just made a weak argument. It goes both ways on your side as well. In the same way that you don't always write in a way that considers thought processes not specific to yourself, you also sometimes can read things as if they're written in your context. I can't really speak to this directly as I can't see inside your head, but it does seem this way.

you can certainly say, well it's others responsibility, not yours, but the hallmark of a good communicator is that they don't need to say that. finding a way to communicate effectively, especially without a common framework is hard.
Being a good communicator means not assuming that the other person is a complete idiot. When I first read your post, I had no idea what you were saying. When I read it the second time, I had a false understanding of what you said and had written an entirely different post. I had due diligence and decided to read it again and then it finally clicked. I then rewrote my post.

None of that matters when they admit to not actually reading my posts. That's the point. They don't read the posts, but continue to argue. Then when proven wrong, they default to "I didn't read anything because I never understand what you write".

Don't be silly. Trump is your new god now. You may also call him "Daddy", like the rest of the shitlords on the internet.

Well, I wouldn't have put a Sanders lawn sign up regardless but Hipster Beard wasn't helping his case anyway. Dude looked like the reason people weren't taking Sanders seriously.

Also, I've taken a million thousand surveys in the past two weeks but can't find any recent polling data on Illinois. What's up wit dat?

I've read your posts and still don't understand why you personally find the gays icky. But I've accepted that you are a coward & one day you will accept it too. Acceptance is the first step to recovery and all!

Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan & Mississippi vote today. Trump leads in the later two although some polls show his lead fading and he tends not to do well with last-minute deciders so tonight's results will show how likely he is to clean up vs a race going all the way to convention.

Rubio's kicking around waiting for Florida next week. A politics editor from the Tampa Bay paper compared him to a Republican John Edwards. Ouch.

Ok, you can all go back to discussing Alma now.

Poor Romney. First he bombs out for president, then he spends the next four years trying to build himself up as a leader in the party establishment just to find out that no one wants the Republican establishment.

It's not that nobody wants it, there's plenty of independents that would be more happy with the Republican establishment than with the Trumpesque mess that coming out. Unfortunately they don't vote in Republican primaries.

Which is weird because for two weeks we were told they were the only ones voting, and voting for Trump exclusively.

Gbaji doesn't understand what a precedent is.


That's hysterical, since I'm using it exactly correctly. A precedent is set when you justify something in one context using a given argument, and then later that same argument is applied to a different context. So, for example, an argument that the government may use the commerce clause to force farmers to grow certain types of crops may later be used to argue that the same commerce clause should allow them to mandate that everyone in the country must purchase health insurance. Clearly growing crops isn't very similar to buying health insurance, but the precedent isn't about the specific application, but the method and justification for the action is what precedent is about.

Insisting that a precedent can only work within the exact same context and/or type of activity is absurd. That's an insanely narrow view of the concept.

Similar is an important part of precedent

Also, just in case: analogous
