A wee tip, Alltims - if you're "trying to say" something, just say it. Don't hide behind other words and assume we'll all know what message you're wanting to get over.
Ok, let's examine that "simple passage" and see what you actually said, instead of what you were "trying to say".
What you actually said in message 23 was :-

It's very simple and clear cut. You accused me of claiming that Boruc was fined for blessing himself.
Now anybody who reads this site, except for you, knows that is not true. Anybody who reads this site, except for you, knows that I have long campaigned for the truth to be told on this subject, i.e. Boruc was not fined or cautioned for blessing himself.
In message 27 I provided evidence to conclusive prove that point, i.e. a letter from the Crown Office to Scotland's First Minister explaining the reason for the action taken against Boruc and expressing their disappointment at people (like you) twisting the reason to suit their own agenda.
I asked for a retraction of your accusation of what you claimed I had said about Boruc, and I also asked for an acknowledgement that Boruc was not fined or cautioned by the police for what you claim.
Rather than produce that apology in the existence of overwhelming evidence, you have tried feebly to squirm your way out of this one by using the "what I was trying to say" line. You keep referring to message 38, which simply says :-

That means next to nothing in my mind, and is far from the retraction or acknowledgement that I'm asking for.
You are a coward, Alltims. I'd think highly of you if you simply came out and said, "Yes, Nessie, I got it wrong, I chose my words incorrectly and I acknowledge that Boruc was not fined for blessing himself and you never said he was."
But continuing to try to justify it and even turn it round to being me "clutching at straws" and having "desperation" does you no credit whatsoever in anyone's eyes, Alltims. It just makes you look very silly, as we all know what your alleged chosen profession is, and we all know that you should know better.
Come on, prove me wrong. Show me you're not a coward and do the right thing.
