Here's the thing, it's fine to misinterpret what somebody else said, but when you keep harping on the original wording once they've repeatedly said that was not the intended meaning, that's not very productive. At that point you're ignoring the intent and are simply arguing for the sake of arguing instead of trying to have any sort of a productive discussion. It's just playing gotcha! See, see, the word you used could be interpreted the way I want to interpret it as opposed to the way you keep saying you meant for it to be interpreted.
