      Poster was unclear in what they were communicating. I get what they’re saying now, but it was easy to read a different meaning.

        No, you just commented without thinking.

        They clearly used the universal “you” and they pluralized the word “plates” making it non personal.

          Most jurisdictions I’m aware of have a plate on the front and back of the car. The plural still reads as a single car with my original reading.

          I fully admit I had the wrong reading with the additional viewpoint. Can you now admit that there are multiple ways to interpret the original post even if my first reading wasn’t the correct one?

            Nope.

            You’d have to intentionally misconstrue it to get that definition, most places require multiples plates so that’s stretching.

            You also lost all right to defend yourself or get forgiveness for just being an outright ass to the user instead of addressing it politely in your original response

            You wanted a “gotcha”, fucked up and are now trying to justify it, stop.

              most places require multiples plates so that’s stretching.

              Wait, you’re arguing in my defense now that a plural supports my reading of an individual instead of an entire system?

              You’d have to intentionally misconstrue it to get that definition

              So you’re saying what I did was intentionally say something I didn’t believe? That’s your argument? But wait, two posts ago you said my fault was different:

              No, you just commented without thinking.

              So which is it, was it carelessness on my part or did I intentionally misconstrue it?

              You wanted a “gotcha”, fucked up and are now trying to justify it, stop.

              Did you miss me admitting three posts up that I made a mistake? I don’t know why you’re searching so hard for a fault, when I already told you I made an honest mistake, and why I made that mistake.

              Nope.

              Then now you have become what you appear to hate. Your own position is now hypocritical. There are multiple readings, I have admitted my fault and now you are the only one that remains unapologetic for your mistake. Keep posting replies if you like. I am now thoroughly confused what you’re trying to accomplish.
