Yes, I know you didn’t say that it was specifically about someone, coming right after her comment led me to believe you were addressing her.
Your commitment to the absolute of what you say has not missed my notice in my time on Fluther, and I’m sorry that you can never relax enough to enjoy the discussion aspects. I don’t see where anyone has said they were the same things, listening and reading, merely that they referred to having enjoyed the work as “reading”, maybe for the reasons I cited in my first couple of posts, as a convenience of language.
It is “asinine” to stand so on absolutes in the midst of a discussion on semantics.
