I just noticed (and got a chuckle out of) something:

To me it looks like you first "assumed malice", got called out and now don't want to be assumed malignant yourself.

Thanks for the chuckle!

But in seriousness: would you mind describing how you interpret your own participation in this thread?

I'm fascinated by this behaviour, but I suspect it's as "easy" as you not being able to interpret the original comment in more than one way.

(Just as I'm doing too, or at least we both seem to act like it anyway)
