You are confused.
P.S. I don't want to get into a discussion; I believe it's better to just state a judgment even if without a useful explanation than to not state a judgment at all; however it may be perceived negatively for those obscure status-related reasons (see "offense" on the wiki), so I predict that this comment would've been downvoted without this addendum, and not impossibly still will be with it. This "P.S." is dedicated to all the relevant occasions, not this one alone where I could've used the time to actually address the topic.
And a simple downvote isn't sufficient?
If I'm reading the conversation correctly, Vladimir Nesov is indicating with his remark that he is no longer interested in continuing. If he were not a major participant in the thread, a downvote would be appropriate, but as a major participant, more is required of him.
I downvoted it. If it included two quotes from the context followed by 'You are confused' I would have upvoted it.
I initially tried that, but simple citation didn't make the point any more rigorous.
I am not confused and I don't want a discussion either. I only state, that a new content and a new context usually comes out from outside the kosher set of views.
Of course, most of the outsiders are delusive poor devils. Yet, they are almost the only source of new information.
