Humpty Dumpty Was #Wordsmithy
He “had a great fall”
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”
— Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

Props to Rich for supplying the quote. And nice pic of Humpty Dougty.
With DW it’s wordsmearing and I think one of his weapons is to simply exhaust people with his insanity. It’s tough enough to deal with, say, an obstinate irrational 3 year old. But when such dwells in the body of a 63 year old and it’s more like demonic than dementia…and said 63 year old makes the pretense of being not only a Christian but a pastor…well, it’s a lot to swallow. It’s unrelenting psychological warfare with Doug. And he’s definitely one scrambled egg.
