As long as we're talking about use of a second language, my reading of your relevant post,Originally Posted By: latishyaI don't think it was weak editorial policy at all. I think it was deliberate
as a native speaker of English, is that it was your opinion that Anu's actions were not subconcious but deliberate.That his actions were motivated by a desire to expose the visciousness of carnivores seems to be presented as fact. A more careful reading suggests that this is not the case and that you really did intend to suggest that it was your opinion that his actions were so motivated, but it took a little explication to come to this view.Quote:As is his right, Anu selectively published responses to promote his own views.
When one knows what one means, it's not so easy to see that one's words are subject to another interpretation. This is a failing of native speakers, too.
