It’s easy to get dismayed, but ya gotta keep your head to the sky.
Many people didn’t believe that fucking guy would ever be indicted on any count…

Where is my Roy Cohn?
Where is my fixer grift?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the bagmen gone?

Really not looking for an argument - I got an answer to my question, and I know more now than I did before. I’m satisfied.

“Legal expert and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security Ryan Goodman pointed to one key difference regarding a defendant’s eligibility for release on bail.
Georgia puts the burden of proof on the defendant to demonstrate they pose “no significant risk of intimidating witnesses.”
“Note: That is a presumption against release,” Goodman tweeted Monday.”
Donnie’s on a short leash.

Huh? Then why does it say:
While it’s phrased as a question, it’s phrased as a rhetorical question, not an interrogative question.
Certainly you can see why your words were interpreted as a condemnation of a Georgia jury pool being able to convict.

Ok, let’s continue the dogpile! Bring it on, y’all! Give it your worst. It’ll be fun!
I won’t resist!
It’s not a dogplie to point out your own words and how they are being read by others. Claiming you didn’t mean what you wrote just comes off as gaslighting, not a correction or an apology.

Yeah, the wording could’ve been better. It’s easy to see how I could’ve conveyed a meaning I didn’t intend. If people want to continue to point that out long after I’ve clarified my position, I guess that’s a kind of fun, but surely there are more interesting and fun things to talk about.

Maybe I’m not articulating myself clearly, either. I admit I am also singling your posts out to make a more general point, which is that we often have posters who - intentionally or not - post something that gets a strong objection from other posters. When that happens, how we clarify ourselves (including myself in that, for sure!) matters.
When we clarify by saying, in effect, “you didn’t read what you think you read” - that’s gaslighting and chills discussion, IMO. I try (and sometimes fail) to clarify by restating what I mis-wrote and tie it back to the original context in order to try to keep the discussion going. What I want to avoid is leaving other posters here with the impression that they messed up when the burden of clear communication is on me as the writer.

Well, I hope that isn’t the impression I left. But since it probably was, mea culpa!
