KWRBT,
What is wrong with you? You seem to have basic problems communicating.
I was not SPEAKING FOR EDU you dummy... I was stating my opinion. NOWHERE DID I SAY I WAS REPRESENTING WHAT EDU WAS THINKING.
When someone says you are speaking for someone else you are accusing them of saying that they think or feel something which they did or did not feel or say. You did accuse me of speaking for edu. When a person stands up against a perceived slight against another person that is not 'speaking for them', it is 'speaking for myself' and as I did in my first post in this thread.
Let me see if I get this. You equate "Speaking on someone's behalf" with "representing what the person is thinking."
For one thing, that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing. But even if it did, what is wrong with representing another person's thinking? That's called agreeing. By expressing agreement, restating an opinion, reformulating a statement, and so on, a person represents what the other thinks by expressing it himself. Is that an offense? If someone makes reference to this action, is it an insult? In what culture, exactly?
You did accuse me of speaking for edu
Accuse you? I didn't accuse you of anything. I stated a fact. The fact is: You spoke for edu. The serial quotes I put in the circus music post display that quite clearly. Why would that be an accusation? It's only referring to what happened. You said yourself in your own words:
I don't think edu, nor myself, ever implied that the Rabbis opinion is not to be taken.
By saying that, you are speaking for edu (and for yourself). So were you "accusing yourself?" Or just saying something on edu's behalf because there isn't any crime involved in doing that. I don't know, you tell me. Maybe you were accusing yourself of something sinister. What exactly? Do tell.
