Who gives a rats ass what you do for a living?
Not me, and save your high minded "interlocutor" talk for your block party invitees.
You irritate only because that is your personality.
Piss off.
Sounds like you've developed "sudden jihad syndrome"...when the mind is overcome with a desire to lash out. I get it too when asked to "press 1 for spanish" or having to listen to ghetto rap blasting away at my local gas station.
I was addressing Torie who happened to have mentioned that he was an attorney as a way of explaining why we might have argued a bit sharply on this thread. He made use of the word interlocutor and I borrowed it to send back a friendly reply.
You attack my work, call me high minded and imply that I attend block parties. Then you say my personality is irritating. You then brilliantly tell me to pi$$ off.
You don't know me so you have no means to offer an opinion on my personality, sir. I have not given you any offense. I despise the very idea of block parties. Before being a lawyer, I was an electrician and occasionally, a waiter to pay for school. I am only high-minded in the sense that I think before I speak (or write), which suggests that you should get high-minded, too. I am irritating when my adversaries play dirty. It is a tactic, not a personality trait.
If you were a gentleman of any sort, you would apologize. If you don't, we will all know what you are.
