He didn't say you did. That bit of Udayana's posts was a general observation.

Detest, hate, loathe, abhor, whatever (they all mean the same), but I didn't think you detested the woman, only her views & I said that.

Neither did I think your original remark about decking her (or whatever word you used), was meant seriously.

So I don't believe I misunderstood you. You may have misunderstood me but who cares?

I was very clear and you were not on your own.

Some dictionaries take the same view as me about the use of 'detest'.

I suppose he lost his patients. Ok, ok, I know where the cloakroom is.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I think "hilarious" might be over-egging it but it's faintly amusing. At least I find it faintly amusing when i talk about punching people I am never going to actually punch.
Having had a friend who was killed by one punch, maybe I find your idea of humour uninteresting.
