Geeky takes things VERY literally much of the time.
I think your last sentence meant to say "nobody is arguing the attacker should NOT face consequences..." because I initially read it that way and then went back and realized it was written without the "not."
Ah, see, I thought it was clear, but apparently I missed the colon or comma I meant to have. It does make it mean what I didn't mean, I was intending something like: "No one is arguing: the attacker should face consequences, the victim is a victim."
Regardless, like I had said, it's pretty clear in all my past messages that I've consistently said that. Heck, I took time to add the disclaimer in some of the posts where I thought it was already clear. Just to be that extra explicit.
So I think it's less that he's "too literal" and more that he's "more interested in making a joke than making a point." I mean, like I said, I was stunned by the brilliant turn of phrase "hoshiscommie."
I try to avoid painting folks all with the same brush, I recognize the struggle, sometimes it's hard, especially in a forum where you can't see the faces to differentiate folks.
I know from past experience, there will be people who get what I am saying, even if they don't agree, they at least recognize a point. I argue for those folks, y'know?
I often get asked here "Why do you come here where people hate you?" Because I don't think that everyone hates me. Hell, I am that geeky kid in school that got picked on constantly, I'm used to it. I bet a lot of the rest of you were the same. So, I can operate just fine with a bunch of people mocking me, I figure one or two of you might get my point.
But as an aside, for the folks that are intentionally misrepresenting my arguments just to score internet points that no one keeps track of: I hereby grant you an infinite amount of those points. You win, ok?
