"There’s a difference between an honest misunderstanding and a deceptive or deceitful one. jeffersondem’s province lies decidedly in the latter two. As a result, his/her tendency is to toss out a fragment of thought and lure you into guessing its context and meaning."

If your complaint is that I don't telegraph what I will write three posts in advance, you have a valid point.

That's because I don't know what will be appropriate to write three posts later.

More to your point - at times I will allow a fish to run with the line before I set the hook and reel him in.

But I have never thrown a punch (meaning written jabs) at anyone that wasn't already in the scrimmage and that I didn't believe was big enough to take a hit and give it back as good as they got.

Sorry to mix the metaphors.

Mixing metaphors is the least of your sins. I can’t (won’t) speak for the others but I want a conversation while you want to play games (allow a fish to run with the line before I set the hook and reel him in).

You’re welcome to go play with yourself.
