Well, isn't this kind of the basis of human communication; that we continue along the same lines established at the onset of the dialogue? It would be a fairly confusing world if we began talking about NASCAR races and you suddenly launch into a discussion on making the perfect pesto sauce, wouldn't it? Since I'm not clever enough to figure out when you're changing the subject, perhaps you could clue me in before you plan on doing it? Rather than reference a discussion about one topic and then discuss something completely unrelated you could segue into it for me?

And the subject of the thread and the main discussion is about the whole incident, not just the children you and SwamP_ThinG are arguing about. All of the prior discussion don't include children.

And the subject of what SwamP-ThinG wrote, and the subject of what I wrote, and the subject of all you quoted was about women and children. That's why I didn't quote the whole passage, just that selected text. When you choose to reference that, my selected text, I have to assume that that is what you wanted to discuss. Especially when you reference the topic in your own reply.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into this? Perhaps I should read your further posts with a more jaundiced eye? Perhaps I should initially believe that what you write is not really what you mean?
