You're coming across as sarcastically implying that they did bribe her

It came across as a joke to me and certainly not anyone saying the governor is in the pocket of catalytic converter thieves.

Yeah, like i said to him - text based communication robs us of accurate tone. 50% of the time misconstrued. So he's going to have people interpreting it how he intended, and misinterpreting it. I was one of the latter, you were one of the former.

i'm sarcastically saying they could afford to.

sometimes, when reading something, it actually helps to get to the end of the sentence:

>they could sure as hell afford one...

Sigh, dude - we read to the end of the sentence. even with the end it comes across as you sarcastically implying they did.

Keep in mind that 50% of all text based communications are misconstrued for tone. We don't know you and we lack facial expression, body language and verbal tone cues to help interpret your intent.

which goes back to my first question:

OK I hate to have to be that person but

> did you learn reading in school?

Yes. Yes I fucking did, and my test scores bear it out.

You however never learned to admit when you failed to effectively communicate and just double down on defensiveness even when offered an entire fucking airport hangar sized open door to walk through and chalk it up to the known errors text based communication introduces.

you failed this test, so clearly those scores are a mistake

>never learned to admit when you failed to effectively communicate

it's a perfectly clear sentence, you just can't read & decided it meant something else

You're insecure because of your reaction to an easy to occur and understandable misinterpretation of tone, and your refusal to admit that happens despite massive amounts of research saying it does. You're insecure because you started trying to attack my intelligence when after I pointed out that effect.

Sorry your life sucks so much dude that you cannot just accept that misunderstandings happen. I hope it gets better for you.

Bro your post 100% sounded like you were implying bribery.

Seems like you're the one who failed to learn how to read, or I guess write in this case.
