I am guilty of shooting from the hip more than a time or 3.

In this case . . . I didn’t per se read any blatantly clear sentences supporting Communism.

But I had a hard time understanding what the seemingly deliberate inferences were supposed to be. I figured my provocative style would ferret things out one way or another. Seems to have clearly done so.

I’m not convinced that simply asking you a straightforward question is the best way or even a consistently likely way to garner enlightenment from you.

Q, I don't take offense at people disagreeing with me. All I ask of them is to give me the benefit of the doubt. I assure you that asking me for a straighforward exlanation, or even a simple clarification, would be far better than trying to read my mind.

In my professional life, as well as in my private one, I concentrate on finding out everything about any subect that concerns me, no matter how I feel about it personally, no matter how much I like or dislike it.

To know is better than not to know.

I take your response as a clarification, if not an outright apology, and I forigve you.

Just remember, you don't have to agree with me. God forbid! But give others the same courtesy you'd expect others to give you.
