Go on then kiddo, explain how in this context they differ. I'll Paypal you $5 if your answer is both coherent and correct, and there's any evidence at all that you understand the difference in this context.

I'm at a loss as to how I could successfully explain the difference to someone who is clearly full of shit and doesn't himself understand the difference.

There's really nothing to explain: You quoted a contradiction. You then typed the non sequitur "law of excluded middle"; I take it we were supposed to infer that the quote is false because of excluded middle. However, the quote is false because it is a contradiction, not because of excluded middle.

I can alter the quote so it is false because of excluded middle: > did not demand > the request is currently not "optional"
