Nothing. If you think it should, that is clearly your own fabrication.

Simple sentences, both of them. I'll repeat myself and allow it to apply to both posts -

I meant what I said.

Though with people coming on and inventing lack of content (?!) to my words, it hardly seems worth trying to express myself. At least, not quite so plainly. That's one reason I don't post here much. Simple little post "No, I meant what I said" and I'm called upon to defend it against arguments other people are having with themselves? Yeah right.

It has nothing to do with etymology or tea in china or the full range of my beliefs or anything YOU might wish to project on it. I realize that this is the naughties and post-modernism is still pretty strong in the world and you are "allowed" to pretend stuff means whatever you think it means with no regard to what it says, but that's a game for leftists, academics and fools. Sometimes it can be fun and even get you a degree but it is, barring one critical piece of utility, utterly useless.

No, I meant what I said.

Sounds to me like a self-description on your part.

Whatever, dood.
