yes I saw them and none of them modifies statement 1 so as to give it the same meaning of statement 2.
support your claim, you have conceeded literal meaning, so you must show contextual meaning is different.
Your honor, Lawyer Donald Lawrence presents the evidence on behalf of his client DF:
1: MattC's original post: 01:02:39. ShiftedShapes quoted his claim 01:46:22, where he called him an idiot. The quote contained objective indicators of high intelligence which ShiftedShapes chose to ignore in his reply. That in turn makes his statement entirely subjective. This also sets the context where MattC's claims are in focus. Your statement also clearly show your subjective agenda, you want to redicule him, an act of "I don't like you".
2: DF then replies to your subjective statement 01:53:25 PM where your statement is quoted. DF writes:
MattC is one of the most intelligent people on this board. No question about it.
-> A clear reference back to MattC's post when seen against your statement.
* The context is set via a series of quotes, a commonly accepted way of establishing context in the online world.
* The "no question about it" is within this context a clear reference back to MattC's claims. You can not question objective evidence.
3: I, Donald Lawrence, presents clear evidence of context, proven in a 2 step commonly accepted context establishing act created within the limited world of online debating. Online debating tools like quotes are mechanisms which speaks clear words.
4: I Donald Lawrence would like to countersue ShiftedShapes for harassment against my new client MattC.
Thank you your "honor."
