Wouldn't it be funny if the baby had red hair just like my carrots...the colour...I don't have hairy carrots...oh now it sounds rude and weird and I didn't meen too.
To me it occurred that this might have been trying to get back at me. "Oh look, I said something mean, oops I'm sorry, but not really." At the same time, I wasn't sure since you make these silly comments a lot. But you have a tendency to be very oblique, making your points with subtlety, sarcasm, analogy. I honestly don't get what you mean more than just on this occasion (meaning, probably around 50% of the time when you are using such tactics, if not more).
well said here, Ender.
And yet you guys believe texts like the Bible and the Book of Mormon which are much more contradictory, include more flights of fancy and use them to arrange the events in your life.
Ooh, good move! I confess to not understanding what you mean, so you attack my faith in religious texts. Nice one! And you said you don't post tactically.
If you want cold logic and bare facts you are digging in the wrong place.
Bingoists make up about 50% of the people in my living room and I'm the only other person in my living room. My utterances in regard to ice-cream and carrots have no political influence and don't limit the chances of people to live their lives the way they see fit.
When I said that you hadn't offended me with the statement and that I'd just wondered what you might have meant, I didn't think it would cause you to get so upset. It was a flippin' question. I don't really care. I was just curious, and you seemed to persist at it, so I wanted honest clarification. Such a styled response is well within the realm of your methods. I don't care if you even had meant it to insult me. However, I trust you (unlike some) when you reassure me that your intentions were not to offend.
I never post tactically by the way.

Definition 3 seems quite fitting to nearly all your posts, as you employ great linguistic skill to convey your messages, though I must admit, perhaps you have overestimated the intelligence of some of us. But we are pretty slow. After all, we believe in some silly old books after all.
Sometimes I post opinion, sometimes I post zany surreal nonsense and I leave it up to the intelligence of the reader to figure out which is which.
I enjoy your zaniness. It's part of your charm. But I don't always understand it. That's okay.
