Do you, by chance, play chess?
And if you do, do you think several moves in advance or do you wait for your opponent to make a move before you start thinking about your next move?

With you I view it more like checkers.

I enjoy the give and take of this forum. I enjoy researching answers and learning new things. I enjoy writing out my thoughts.

What I don’t do is think that somehow we are locked in some titanic struggle of good verses evil. We are two laymen arguing arcane points of law that we may or may not fully grasp. Sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong. And sometimes it is merely a matter of personal interpretation. But at the end of the day it is just talk that will have absolutely no effect on the real world. So if I get sloppy or misspeak, it is not end of the world. If you get satisfaction in “winning a point” well more power to you.
