Perhaps when he said "the opposite actually" he was suggesting that the Flames do not have a grudge against Iginla, in fact they feel the complete opposite way about him. Not saying that the Flames don't have a grudge against him, he has a grudge against them..
Only briefly skimmed through your comments going back and forth, not sure if this resolves anything  |
Exactly. I thought it was pretty straight forward. The opposite of something existing is something not existing. I guess the misunderstanding was that of one of the most elementary concepts in our language. The word grudge is a noun, therefore the opposite of a grudge is no grudge.
He must have thought I meant vice versa or something. The opposite of apples isn’t oranges, it’s no apples. The opposite of holding a grudge (which I never inferred anyway) is not holding a grudge. It’s not “someone else holding a grudge”.
