You know, for someone who talks about deep thinking, real conversation and avoiding knee jerk reactions, you sure are acting like a rude little parrot.

Oh, come now. Your skin is thicker than that.

I had meant to end the conversation politely and tried to do so twice. We’re done here...is that clear enough?

Well, unfortunately, you did not "end the conversation," you extended it by blaming "politicians" (but not yourself) for what's wrong with conservatism. I helpfully quoted the statement to which I was responding.

It's a shame you felt the need to be purposely rude -- I had not intended to be so.

Pedantry, at best. Note there's no reference to deep thinking in the definition.

Au revoir.
