Maybe I presumed that your leadership experience moderating a forum where infractions are adjudged based on the way they affect readers instead of on what the writer intended caused me to believe you would be sensitive to the affect of your words more so than reiterating intent.My belief was probably informed by my effort to explain in a previous post, to which you responded, the difference between an author's intent and the affect of the author's work, with reference to standard practices in literary review.
