One more time.
X said something "you" agreed with, so "you" needed to say X had periods of lucidity- because you agreed with what X said. When "you" do not agree, one can infer, that "you" think X is not lucid. But since you can make enough sense out of X's posts to know "you" do not agree, they must be somewhat lucid. Ergo, what "you" really mean is: When the persona JOTW agrees with what the persona X has said, then the writing is lucid (because JOTW likes what the writing said) and when JOTW does not like the writing it is not lucid. Unless "you" are going to try to tell me you have not understood anything you have responded to- when it seems you have, at least at times, seemed to be understanding what you were saying, in response to what X said.

But X will try to believe you if you tell X "you" understood nothing about anything that was said.

"you"- does not refer to any specific person alive or dead, that would be known to the author of this post
and "JOTW" refers to a persona on SI
