I was explaining myself, I think, in a civil way to someone who was making accusations. I will continue do that when I see fit.

No, I answered the question you were so patiently "waiting" for, and you retreated into your standard pattern of clarification.

The only thing missing was the condescending [sigh].

If you were referencing the "thoughts" expressed in post #3, I'm sure that those thoughts were based on the "thoughts"' in #1 and #2.

I could also say that of my post #8: "I make no further statement... no editorializing.... take it for what you will... go off on a million tangents if you like." Blah, blah. Gets us nowhere.
