The basis of my fun poking was that you have a couple of distinct characteristics to what you post: one is that you always seem to have done any profession anyone brings up (I said seems, i.e., a perception not necessarily a fact); another is your persistent statement that someone has not read what you said or that someone is putting words in your mouth, regardless of how apparent it is that this has, in fact, not happened. (It's weird, you often do this whether they are mostly agreeing with you or not. I think it's a perception of being misunderstood.)

I have never stated that I have done a job I have not done.
Name one that you question and I will do my best to scan documentation or a photo.
I resent the implication, it is sad of you... I am not surprised however.
Lending my perception to a conversation based on something I experienced being viewed by you as making a statement beyond exactly what I am writing is on you and your issue alone.
As stated above, if someone states that my post carries meaning not stated in the post, that it is only their personal assumption is a fact, nothing more.
It is not about being misunderstood, it is about people who choose not to separate their ego from other's statements.

I never said nor had such a thought.

I didn't make any implications. I was explaining my humor as a reflection of my own perceptions and as a verifiable fact (a fact founded on the set of your posts that I have read, which is far from all of them).

It took me a couple minutes to parse that sentence. But I have to agree. If I see a message to what you say that isn't explicitly stated, you didn't say it.

Gotcha... pot. kettle. black. At least I don't get all reactionary about it when it someone does it to me, or when I perceive that they've done it to me.

Which causes misunderstanding.
