that's just you projecting your own veiled opinions and beliefs onto my 
statements which contain no other purpose than to learn the biblical hebrew 
language.

"no other purpose"

Hm, who can seriously believe you?


Why is your post titled "back of the bus"?
You keep resorting to heavily marked wordings, which convey a lot of 
uncontrollable load.

What does "sanitize the meaning of BH words and the purpose of the language" 
mean?
The purpose of a language is to enable verbal communication.


I'm not projecting my own opinions and beliefs which, contrary to yours, are 
not veiled.
There's definitely something sickening and disturbing about your "style", 
your inadequate wordings, your overloaded metaphores and your general 
mischaracterizations of about everything.
That's what I perceive.
And to be frank, I will not be surprised to learn that you belong to some 
fringe organization or network.

And I tend to think from some other reactions that I'm not the only one who 
is uneasy with your posts.

There's some hidden ugly thing that lurks behind.
Nearly everything you write contains hidden presuppositions, most often 
negative ones.
Like "sanitizing the meaning of BH words".
Why should they require "sanitizing" in the first place?

I'm * not * projecting anything. You wrote that.
Do you think I cannot read between the lines?

Your posts are brimful with hidden presuppositions and manipulative 
wordings.
There's a pattern in your posts.
And it's not clumsiness and it's not about "learning BH".

You obviously already have some hidden agenda, which apparently is too ugly 
to be overly stated.

I have said before.
And I will state again.
I have no purpose being here, posting here, other than to learn biblical 
hebrew language ("BH") and literature.

That being said,

yes, that's part of what makes me feel uncomfortable.
"That being said, then let's proceed to some other strange veiled claims".

the masoretic text involves itself with the day to day lives of human 
beings. It purports to furnish a legal code for people living day to day.

***
Legal code ?
I thought that document was a religious document designed to address 
religious needs !?
A.

It addresses numerous minute details and politically incorrect issues 
relevant to people's daily lives.

***
Politically incorrect ??
Like what?
A.

Sanitizing the meaning of BH words, phrases, verses, chapters, scrolls, from 
these subjects, eviscerates the purpose of the language.

***
Sanitize ?? the purpose of the language ??

What is your hidden agenda, please?
Sounds like some unsanitized paranoid accusation.
I wonder if it's just a chance coincidence that you chose the word 
"sanitize" which contains "nazi" in filigree.

I also do not so much like the word "eviscerate".
Sounds like emotional manipulation.

Perhaps if BH manifested as and in a book like "alice in wonderland," a nice 
sanitized discussion of the language could proceed.  ...

Could you please explain what that sentence means, especially [...] at the 
end?

Who are you Mr Burlingame, I mean, on the Hyde side of it?
