First you don't like me putting words in your collective mouths but then you just spoke for them as a group
You can do this but I can't?
Not every statement referring to a group, is "putting words in their mouths".
There is a huge distinction to be made between those two actions.
YOu assigned a number of negative beliefs to us, and then ridiculed us for the beliefs you insisted we had.
I pointed out that we, as a group, stopped supporting Powell, when he betrayed us.
Seriously. YOu need to be able to see a difference there.
