Okay, we're getting _somewhere_... the bit I don't understand now is
'the consequences of her stance'. Does this mean, 'I believe this to
be true about this person because of the things they have said in the
past'? (I'm really sorry I don't have time to trawl the archives,
unless I really really have to to find my answer)
Another possibility is you believe that the results (the consequences)
of her ideas and desires on this subject would, if logically followed,
lead to the behaviour described in the original paragraph?
Or I have missed the point, in which case I'll risk boring your ass off
by questioning you further. : )
