"No, it's about his read stemming from things that don't exist or are otherwise qualified with nothing waffles."
"you acted as though you analyzed it, and saw there was no possible connection, and called him out on it"
Don't try to change history now.
The clarification
you provided is what I called a nothing waffle -- that JJJ is scummy because
X, but gee he sure is posting a lot. The thing that doesn't exist was my purported claim of having said nobody would draft me because I'm too obvious (Colin has already acknowledged the error).
It confused me, then, that you referenced something Colin said that was separate from the quote I brought to you.
I was talking about "although" having not-too-difficult-to-get real meaning, contrasted to your claim that it didn't follow the previous point in any way. Then you bring up "stemming from things that don't exist", which I interpreted as talking about the point I brought up. As in, the "although" stemmed from nowhere.
I don't know about "nothing waffles". As I said when I first read Colin's post, I was having the same thoughts about where the baddies might be in the thread. Your "but gee" thing above really doesn't reflact his post well at all... you seem to be trying to make it look waffly in a dumb way. I don't trust that kind of propaganda, because it wasn't dumb, and it wasn't "but gee he posts a lot".
His point against you: " That MacDougall line of interrogation seems like a whole lot of latching onto nothing just to make it appear as if there’s a semi-reasonable case." That's a reasonable point, and one that I have stated some affinity for when I commented about the high pressure on Mac. This is a valid reason to suspect you.
Colin's other thought: baddies might lay low at this point. Also a good thought, and one I agree with. I don't read it as a counterpoint to diminish the suspicion of you (aka "waffley"), I read it as two separate thoughts that were connected by virtue of you being NOT a low poster.
