No, see, the "black" here is to do it *cluelessly*, the way Angela does it-- and the way you do it as well. Both of you are so convinced of your own wonderfulness, of your own self- importance, that you don't think you need to pay attention to what people actually say. Angela doesn't even bother to make sure she's responding to the right post (see #161689, for example, which was actually another response to the post of mine quoted above), or that she has the correct referent of a pronoun (see #161640). Just slapdash, in other words, sloppy, slipshod, intellectually lazy. Neither of you thinks there's any need to check out the reality to see whether it's in accord with your fantasies before you indulge them. How you'd *like* things to be takes precedence in your minds over how things actually are. (And no, I'm not talking about "Truth" here, just garden-variety relative on-the-record facts that are accessible to everyone.)
