Then yes, you did specifically mean me. 'People such as yourself', that pretty directly means me (even specifies me as the example), unless 'yourself' has a new dictionary meaning I never learned. And since you answered with a self-contradictory statement, you seem to be admitting you have no idea what I really believe--but that won't stop you from inferring it for rhetorical purposes. Whereas I, on the other hand, flat point blank asked you what you believed, and took your word for it.

Have you ever been to Africa? If you mentioned having been there earlier, pardon the repetitive question, but it's a long thread to shovel all the way back through. Someone mentioned having spent time there, wasn't sure it was you.

Since I directly answered your question we should be moving on rather than dwelling on the specifics of a few minor words, shouldn't we?

I suppose there was probably an implied question in my last statement about the zealousness with which you support multi-racialism. Do you admit to having such a zeal?
