It's interesting you point out how she plays with words...you don't think he is engaged in the exact same thing?

No? Other than when he was trying to tiptoe around hurting her feelings.
Playing with words to not hurt feelings is not in the same realm as playing with words to make a rape accusation.
Do you have any specific examples of Macy "playing with words" to hurt Carol the way she played with words to hurt Macy?

Of the top of my head? No, it's been too long. But I do remember clearly it wasn't just about tiptoeing around feelings, but around truth.
Mamet is brilliant at exploring that.
