I'm sure I could not withstand the pressure of a full-on flame from you. My aim is only to elevate your ire, on occasion, not persistently, and only over matters trivial.
In my heart of hearts, I mean absolutely no harm. But a little devil inhabits part of my entertainment center, and he seeks devilish entertainment from time to time.
Agility in rhetorical battle requires PRACTICE, among other things. Patience, I think, is another.
Perhaps someday we could engage in a mock flame war, or at least after it was over, pretend it was all in fun. Naturally, such an event could not be scheduled - for reasons so obvious I choose to not expand on the thought. But in general I note, not all flaming is really flaming, sometimes flaming is just for fun.
