I am sorry you felt attacked. That was not my intention. I just had trouble with your vague answers and sought to understand what you were saying.

“Yes, I do want to help, in spite of the fact that no good turn goes unpunished.”

I am taking your words at face value. You say you want to help, and I believe you do. Could you help me understand what you are helping with? Please use straight-forward language. I’ve got a head-cold and it hurts too much to try to infer meaning from poetic reference.

Our adversary is gamin’ us using social manipulation on the order of a multi-level chess game and most of us are reacting like southern porch sitters watching a checker game on a cracker barrel.

That's my pet peeve, we're just not up to speed to stay ahead of the curve and stop the trouble makers, in fact , they're laughing at us.

I don't like that.
