Dear Upset internet user,
I realize that you must have the last word on everything, could never admit you were wrong and would defend the most retarded of positions until the end of time. However, if you are still missing the point or unclear on the actual definition of the word assume (not the made up definition you've manufactured to support your obsessive argument) I'm going paint you a picture so clear, even someone with your unwillingness to accept ideas other than your own can understand.
This is GKY's original statement:
DumbFatGuy wrote:you'd be crazy starting off with a big Harley (lol redneck bike, etc) and should get a smaller bike instead.
At no point in this statement does GKY reference the specific size of anything. He in fact says "big Harley" as opposed to "smaller bike". Harleys aren't known for being fast and powerful race bikes. They're known for being loud an colossal cruisers. But that's neither here nor there. The FACT is, GKY doesn't specify the "big" or the "small". One would have to assume it was the physical size or the size of the engine or possibly some other inane observation rattling around inside the head of an angry computer nerd. So the only way for YOU to decide that GKY was referring to the engine size was to apply the definition of the word Assume ("suppose to be the case, without proof").
This is my original response:

You'll notice I ASSUMED GKY was either referencing the size of the engine or the physical size of the bike. Because I addressed them both in my response. Could I have worded it better? Sure. But that doesn't negate the content. I was stating that I didn't think an 1130 cc engine or the physical size the bike would be too big for ME. Even a "12 year old" could figure that out.
Now I know you're going to have to say something. Most likely continuing to ignore the actual definition of the word assume or continued criticism of me somehow not knowing there's a difference between motor and bike size. But before your incredibly unoriginal OCD kicks in and causes you to draft another ridiculous response (similar in context and structure to the one I've provided above), think. You can't change GKY's original statement and you can clearly see I understood the gist of what GKY was trying to say. So unless you can change the definition of the word assume, you're going to have to come to grips with the fact you're wrong.
BTW, further discussion of this pointless anyway. I'm not even buying the bike.
