Imagine not even being capable of thinking other people might think differently than yourself.
Imagine taking a statement that doesn’t contain any value judgement about the writer and misinterpreting it for bragging.
Imagine being so self absorbed, that you don’t only misinterpret intention so drastically, but doing that with the intent of defending literature interpretation.
Think differently from me… hmm. The opinion I’m defending is that books can move you. No, I will not entertain the notion that books can’t be moving.
I also didn’t say you made any value judgments about anything. I said you bragged, because your statement indeed comes across as an attempt to brag. Not a good one, though, of course.
Also, im not “defending literature interpretation”.
Imagine actually admitting this
Now imagine somehow bragging about it
It boggles the mind

Not to me.
I hope you realise that this actually weakens your point
My point is that you interpreted a statement as bragging that two other people didn’t. How exactly does saying so weaken my own point?
You just admitted that your reading skill is so poor, you can’t even pick up the obvious subtext of your own words
Now you’re telling me about subtext in my own writing.
I think leisesprecher was right about “being too absorbed in their own circle jerks”.
And clearly you’re so poorly-versed in literature theory that you’ve never heard of unintented subtext.
