No, shit-for-brains.  I pointed out that "swallowing the tongue" is how folks
tend to describe strangulation during a seisure.  How the hell did you get from
that to your above totally baseless and moronic claim?

I  try  very  hard  to say exactly what I mean.  I'd appreciate it if you'd
bear that in mind and not try to "interpret"  my  posts  to  fit  your  own
preconceived notions if I'm posting in a serious thread.  Remember:  If you
throw a strawman into a heated debate, flames are likely to be the result.
