I see. (meaning - I read.) This characterizing thing is becoming quite
clear. I do appreciate all the help with my language arts.

Sometimes, it's conversationally useful to take a situation or a piece of
writing and interpret in an extreme way which borders on the absurd. That
doesn't always falsify the original information, but it may serve to plow
through the cotton some people insert in their ears each morning.


As a matter of fact, it seems as though there are several people in
this news group who do interpret a piece of writing in an extreme way,
bordering on the absurd. Very often, it does falsify the original
information. Yet these folks see no problem in this, and even seem to
believe the extremely absurd "characterizations" they have developed.

Have you noticed this?
