Most of what you've typed here is a non sequitur. For example, that you were "clearly joking around" is not in dispute, and is irrelevant. Also, I'm not "fired up" about anything; this is a run-of-the-mill argument. Third: you've confused arguing with persuasive writing. I have no interest in the latter.

This isn't enough. You need to breakdown my post Point. By. Point.—non sequiturs included—if you want to earn an A by the end of the semester.

I want a full paper submitted by no later than Monday.

Also, please don't forget to include a discussion on... well... the point of my post. I think you're certainly smart enough to find the STFU hiding somewhere in my litany of non sequitur sentences.
