So, basically you left a terse reply on this thread and I responded with a terse reply to your reply, so you then respond to me with another terse reply with a link to a post you made before which was a long reply that suggested people not leave terse replies???

Thanks for the tip.. haha

Here is my original post

Yes, you are exactly correct, Trump has always said he would repeal Obamacare, but you are leaving out the rest of the sentence. He has said and continues to say "repeal and replace". In fact, he was just recently attacking Cruz, saying he had no heart, we can't let people die in the streets. So yeah, we know he wants to repeal it, but just what exactly would he be replacing it with?

And here is what you posted in response.

well obviously, no one wants people to die in the streets, do you???

Followed up by this little gem...

Is that supposed to be a strike against Trump that he thinks people should not die in the streets of America????

So where exactly do you see "terse reply" in what I originally wrote? Is asking a legitimate question now going to be considered confrontational, beyond the bounds of normal discourse? Let me help you out, as you are obviously in need of a refresher course in the art of discussion. Here is what would be considered a non terse reply to your latest comment:

I am sorry that my comment was interpreted as being terse, my intention was simply to inquire as to what would be the candidates position going forward in regards to the issue of healthcare if and when he dispenses with the current law.

Now I would like to demonstrate what most on this site would consider a terse reply:

Did you have a bet with another freeper to see how many times you could stick the word terse in a sentence? When someone asks you a question that requires some actual thought, building straw men is generally considered a sign of weakness in ones argument. Do I want to see people dying in the street, you ask? As a rule, I would say no, but in your case, I could make an exception, jackass... haha

I hope this interaction proves to be helpful moving forward, and I wish you continued success on your journey through the many intricacies and possibilities of the English language. I know it can be scary at times, but with continued practice, and an occasional cracking open of a book above the level of the sixth grade, you will be on your way in no time...

P.S. Multiple question marks at the end of a sentence do not increase the relevancy or urgency of a question. They're just annoying, but you probably knew that...
