    It wasn't unkind, and it wasn't snarky. If you think it was, that's because you are reading that into it. Read it a different way.

      perhaps you should reread the comment you considered snarky?
      • cxr 2y ago
        You have me confused with someone else.
        • catchnear4321 2y ago
          not really. you answered for them.
          • cxr 2y ago
            Now you have your argument confused with one that works (and isn't bullshit). What's the comment I should reread? What's the comment I considered snarky?
            • catchnear4321 2y ago
              that seems a bit unkind, does it not? did you not read the whole thread before answering?
              • cxr 2y ago
                No. And except for the ones in your most recent comment, you've gotten answers to all your questions, and have been evasive about every one that has been put to you. I can jump to the end here: you want to see if there's some way out of how you've boxed yourself in and manage to pull off for your own sake a conversational win here—which is important to you. There isn't, and it shouldn't be this important.

                  many statements and few questions. why did you consider it worth continuing? one might say you put more effort in than i. more importance attributed than i?
