All the people who understand me are the ones who don't reply, which is more than six.
I haven't replied. Does that mean that I understand you, or does it merely mean that I didn't reply?
Honestly, I think it's a great quote, and I don't see it as in any way putting you in a bad light. I did have to search to find the post where you said that, so I could see the full context. But even without the context I don't see it as damaging to you. Ringo is just adverising the fact that you have some common sense.
Personally, I think it would be better if Ringo turned that into an active link, so that clicking on the quote would take a person to the context.

Let's end the political smears

Ahh, I should have said "alledged" misconceptions because I don't know what they are. However, your reply infers that you do and I would be truly very happy to try and help you with your misconceptions if you would care to articulate what they are.
Education might transform you into someone who understands how hilarious that is.

why is that? Did you not answer 'yes' when I asked if you would not mind your learning about your own misconceptions concerning evolution?
No, I didn't. That was NosyNed
Why did you say absolutely to this question when you don't have a clue what your misconceptions are?
I didn't. That was jar
When asked the same question, Radz response also inferred he knew the nature of his own misconceptions. [post 169]
RAZD's post (Message 166, not 169) did not infer anything. You might have inferred something from his post (an incorrect inference, by the way).
Do you think you have misconceptions or not?
It is always possible that I might have misconceptions. However, as is the nature of misconceptions, I would not be aware of them and that is why I would appreciate somebody else explaining them to me.
