This . Short people , especially short men , can be extremely sensitive about their height . Time for them to get a taste of their own medicine . <| sep |> Right , that ' s why I said They are really dangerous , but really tempting to throw in fires . Nothing about that sentence indicates that they are only dangerous when thrown into a fire . That sentence means that they are dangerous , and also tempting to throw into a fire . It ' d be more correct to say precisely the opposite they are safe , but tempting to throw into a fire . But you ' re right that your rephrasing was perfectly clear . Also are you comparing a rock to a pound of easily burning , potentially explosive manufactured fuel ? Yes . You ' re implying that my sentence wasn ' t clear ? Both rocks and propane canisters are safe unless a human being decides to intentionally do something extremely dangerous with them . In what way is that confusing ?
