    It is certainly a very convenient form of laziness in a medium such as this. It permits you to duck and dive if another person tries to pin you down as to what you actually intended by your writing.
    You give a rather small internet discussion board a bit too much importance. When it is something really important I am much more careful but here I take a considerably more relaxed approach

    I'm always still in trouble again

      I am not ascribing any importance to an insignificant Christian discussion website.

      However, given that we both use such sites where the availability for longer exchanges exists, if individuals wish to engage beyond posting one or two sentence comments, it is necessary [and helpful] that they at least attempt to be clear in what they write so that everyone else can comprehend their position/point of view.

        I merely asked if any of the individuals you cited had done such a thing.
        They all murdered their political opponents, so the only relevant debate reason for asking that question is to try and make a distinction between murdering political opponents and saying "on air" that their political opponents need to be murdered, at least when it comes to something being fascist.

        Are you trying to make that distinction? If you are not, then it's pretty much an empty question that adds nothing to the conversation.
