i agree with you the comment should have been phrased properly.pepole seem to be getting the wrong idea.and tm to ans ur question gc was not reffering about his costar. do u really think he would do that.he is stating about the abussive remarks made on dexter that's it.he even talked about his parents right?

I'm sure he wouldn't have even written it, reading the entry, because that surely isn't his tone OR his vocabulary. Anyway, for what i understood, i wrote it down. And, him being a public figure, shouldn't even be reacting that way.. Because when you're famous, there are going to be more than thousands of fans ... and there's always a "BUT".. BUT, he's going to have to face the haters too. The statement that i quoted might be a retaliation but it was not a nice thing to say. Why stoop to the levels of the haters? Again, i'm not great at english, so i might be misinterpreting. 😆

Your quote is only a part of the whole sentence, and the sentence used is an allegory; i.e. it is just one concrete example of an abstract point, and hence, it can not be used to equate two unrelated examples just because they satisfy the same abstract notion. For example, if you say Day is to Night as Life is to Death, it does not mean that day = life and night = death. It just means that the abstract relationship implied between day and night is same as that implied between life and death. So, there is nothing I find in English language construct or grammar that supports your interpretation of equating DD to dog. It is your interpretation, but not what is implied by the sentence used.
