Dirk,
Sergio said that Kate's article had to be a fabrication or a joke.

You replied that it was not.

I said that you did not know what you were talking about.

Kate said that the article in question was a joke.

Now you say that you were right anyways.

I can see Sergio's predicament.

PS. How old are you 13? Buy the way I agree, you are right. No need to discuss any further ok ?

Hardly. I stated that it was not absurd in that it helped illustrate
Kate's point.

"It stands to reason that the paragraph may be but a synopsis of what may
have taken place. But it is not at all absurd in illustrating the
possible confusion."

MAY is hardly a definitive word or is it? A synopsis is a by definition:
"A general view or summary of something, especially a condensed summary
of a story."

Now try reading what is written than what you want it to mean.

Plus 40 years, but your attempt to belittle does not serve you well.

If you meant that you would not be replying, now would you?
