Yes, it is an assumption. An assumption that seems valid.

Based on clar's message:

"It's The Dean Critics

who are turning DU into Dean U. The majority of threads in P&C are related to Dean. The majority of those are posted by Dean opponents. If anything, negative posts tend to harden the resolve of supporters.
It's not like you're persuading people to jump on your candidate's bandwagon. I'm not suggesting that there aren't some substantive posts regarding Dean and his positions, but many threads are simply gratuitious, their only objective being to bash him.
If you want Dean U to once again become DU, you might consider not posting so many anti-Dean threads. Just a thought."

OKNancy assumed that what clar meant, was what clar said, that "you might consider not posting so many anti-Dean threads", and did not assume that she meant other things, that she didn't say, like "there is too much criticism of candidates in general".

So I say, why not just have clar clarify (ahem) whether she meant only what she said, or also, that other candidates shouldn't be criticized either. And you are saying - let's get this straight - in a discussion about what clar meant, it doesn't matter what she meant?
