    I didn’t make any such claim. You did. Now you’re back peddling, so I guess there wasn’t any point to your previous comment?

      I didn’t say you made that claim. Hence my using the word “like.”

      And how am I backpedaling at all? You asked me if I thought they were cowards and I said no and explained why. That’s literally the opposite of backpedaling.

      Did you just not bother reading anything I wrote before responding?

        I didn’t ask if you thought they were cowards. I asked if you think the only reason aren’t in major leagues is because they aren’t brave enough. That’s the implication you made by bringing up Jackie Robinson on the context you did and adding that he was exceptionally brave.

        Did you just not bother reading anything I wrote before responding?

        Are you reading what you’re writing? What is the point of anything you’re writing? What message are you trying to convey?

          No. This is what you said:

          And I explained why I was not saying that, which you have not accepted. But I do notice you’ve decided to whine about something I said hours ago as if it were about you, so I don’t think you’re dealing with a full deck of cards.

            I don’t think you’re dealing with a full deck of cards.

            Eww, the projection…

            Correct, that is what I asked. I never said it wasn’t… You made a comment that seemed to imply women weren’t brave enough. Which is obviously a ridiculous statement. So I asked if that’s what you meant. You then said it wasn’t. So, then what was or even is your point?

            I said hours ago as if it were about you

            Okay then. Who was it about? When you replied to the person that was replying to me and you said “people like this”, who was the person like that? I think any reasonable person would infer you meant the person that the commenter you were replying to was replying to. So, if not, then who?

            You seem way more concerned with being defensive you keep undercutting your own statements. I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. I’m still waiting for you to clarify that. Until you can, this is pointless.
