>I wasn’t accusing you of not getting the joke, I was speaking in general.

But you were -- you just hid it under a veneer of snark, innuendo, and plausible deniability so I'd be tainted by the implication, while still allowing you to (right on cue) insist that's not what you meant.

Maybe now you're starting to understand why ambiguity in writing is a double-edged sword. But then, if you were that conscientious, I wouldn't have to make the original point in the first place.



If you actually got that from what I wrote I’d apologize but I don’t think you’re engaging in good faith.
