.....this doesnt have anything to do with that her statement either.... Jimminees Barry... all
she said is that for every member of the PTG... there are  at least one duffers... which she
went on to clarify (after being asked to) in a fashion which doesnt quite fit your area of
criticism...

Over sensitivity two the problem you rightly point out (even tho the context is wrong) helps
