On 14 Dec 2005 16:46:05 -0800, in a place far, far away, "Dave
O'Neill" made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

If he does get some of his view of the British
"mainstream" from people with outlooks similar to Perry then he will
have a pretty bizarre view of how we generally think...

I don't rely on Samizdara for my "view of the 'British mainstream.'"

Why would you believe such an absurd thing?

Oh. Right.

The reading comprehension thing again.

Yes, you're suffering from it. He never said he believed it. He posed a
hypothetical.

But don't let the actual words get in your way.

In particular my use of "If" and "some" and my intentional use of
inverted commas. Not to mention the context of a semi-serious exchange
with Pat.

Perhaps this is one of those really "rare" occasions where Rand was
mistaken or unclear in what he posted
