What? 'Lovebirds' is a common expression for a lovey-dovey couple. Sure, it's derived from the way certain birds bond for life. However, I doubt anyone literally believed I was calling Amanda and Raff birds of the feathered variety.
Exactly. They are not a couple and haven't been since 2007 so how can they be a "lovey-dovey couple"? You disprove your excuse with your own words. Once again you cannot admit you twisted my words. Not surprising.
Perhaps you do not understand similes.
I understand similes quite well, but that was not one. It was a metaphor.
No, honey. A true metaphor is a literary technique to convey an apt analogy. Clichés are not considered (a) original or (b) literary. No decent writer (except perhaps js) would use a cliché as a metaphor unless the metaphor is meant as being cliché.
"If Raff is so enamoured of his 'fairy-tale love story' (his words to Nencini)"
Raff used the past tense. He was describing how he felt in Nov., 2007.
"why does he try to stab her in the back at every opportunity? Ever since he retracted his alibi for her, as early as 6th Nov 2007, just four days after the murder, saying she had asked him to lie for her by saying she was with him all evening, he has never withdrawn it."
Yes, he has. "At the conclusion of the appeal in October 2011, Sollecito finally confirmed Knox's alibi, and in his final spontaneous statement explicitly asserted that Amanda Knox was at his apartment on the night of the murder." (TMOMK)
In his book he also asserts that she was with him all night and never went out.
"In fact, during the appeal stages, he called a press conference making it clear he could vouch not for her for sure. Either way, that is a pretty weasally way of pushing her under the bus to save his own skin."
Only during the early evening, not during the time of the murder.
"At a press conference in Rome on Tuesday, Sollecito acknowledged, as he has done previously, that he cannot be absolutely certain of how much time the 27-year-old student from Seattle spent in his flat on the early part of the evening of the murder, even if he is certain the two spent the night together." (The Guardian) Since the murder did not occur until after 9 PM, just how is that pushing her under the bus?
"If Amanda has such great 'warmth' towards Raff, why did she refuse to marry him to help him get a "'green card' to evade going to prison?
That was the least she could do after all he had done for her. "
The only person who claims Amanda refused to marry Raff is Kelsey Kay who has no evidence of her claim. She has made public the emails between them in her effort at "revenge" and there is nothing in them from Raff about asking Amanda to marry him. Believe Kay if you like. I personally think she's got mental problems.
