Didn't mean to confuse you

Yet you did anyway. Because you seem to have some sort of obsession about my posts. Either that, or an inabilty to STFU and drop it.
No, I addressed the issue in black ink.
WTF are you talking about?
See, I'll flip a coin here ... and tails it is. As such I'll presume you genuinely don't understand.
What you quoted:
In other words, are you lying, or just stupid? So it's up to you, Mike. Which standard would you prefer?
What that comes from:
Hmm ... should I apply your standard here and not give you the benefit of the doubt? In other words, are you lying, or just stupid? In either case, of course, it amounts to the same general outcome. If it's simple ignorance, you're not capable of understanding the condescension in the extraneous second sentence of your first point noted above. Nor are you able to comprehend the condescension of deciding why I've criticized your contemptuous expressions. To the other, if it's a more complicated ignorance, you're just too stupid to figure out why lying is bad.
Or perhaps I should give you the benefit of the doubt—that's right, give you what you're unwilling to give Orleander—and simply remind you that the way to peace, progress, and prosperity is through our capacity for human sympathy. Had sympathy no place in the human endeavor, it would have selected out long ago. It would be easy enough to theorize that your focus on the injustice of dumping a man for being a bad f@ck reflects your own fears of inadequacy, but it is well enough to give you the benefit of the doubt and simply wonder if your desire to appear quick-witted simply blinded you to the obvious. And, hell, pretty much everyone does that from time to time.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of presuming you capable of reading through a couple of paragraphs and figuring out the comparison at hand. If I wish to treat you as you treated Orleander, and then me, the question is whether you are too stupid to understand your own condescension, or simply dishonest in pretending it isn't there. The alternative, of course, is to treat you like a decent fellow and give you the benefit of the doubt (that second paragraph, the one you missed). In that case, you made a simple mistake we all make from time to time.
I'll try to skip rhetorical questions, then. You focused on one while ignoring the direct and applicable question, and apparently also missed an entire paragraph in the comparison.
Sorry, chap. Didn't mean to confuse you so.
I'm just going to go ahead and sit back and see how many paragraphs your response to this one is. Let's go ahead and hear your miserable attempts to be condescending towards me by making long, babbling novel sized rambling responses of talking out your ass, again. Go ahead sweetheart.
Oh, poor you. Tell you what, toots, how 'bout this? How about if, in the future, I don't make the mistake of presuming you're intelligent? That way you won't risk hurting yourself trying to figure out what's going on.
Easy enough?
Wonderful.
