I am looking forward to your explanation of the funniness.
OK
know you read this post. It's the one where I acknowledge having managing the discussion.

In that post I say:
<<I was, indeed wearing two hats for a while during the discussion, or at least a hat and a half. Part of me was a regular participant with my own opinions, not yet totally formed at that time, but in the process. Part of me was recognizing how controversial his hypothetical was and trying to slow down you and Chris while I tried to pull additional information from Jewel about this unique character, Mojo. I was trying to interview Jewel about Mojo so we could get a better understanding of what was going on with him. I recognized that your pouncing on him would ruin that because Jewel would not be as forthcoming if he felt attacked. I was trying to forestall that until I could get to the bottom of his hypothetical. So one could say I was manipulating the situation. Not in the negative sense of the word "manipulate," I don't think, but I was indeed trying to control the dynamics of the discussion and to get him to open up. Given that Jewel has been wary of me for as long as I can remember, I can see him perceiving that as manipulative, his feeling out of control, and not trusting where I was going with it.>>
This is where I try to get Solon to cool his jets so that I can conduct the interview.

And this is you acknowledging and complimenting me on the good job I did framing that for you.

What is funny is that here I am trying to articulate your position for you yet you totally block it and continue to fuss at me for not understanding and for opposing you and Mojo.
What is even funnier is that you distrusted me for manipulating you, I fessed up to manipulating you, in a good way, of course, you read what I said, and apparently didn't have either recognition or recollection of the actual manipulation I was talking about. That's almost as funny as you not realizing for weeks that Neo wasn't agreeing with you.
I'm sorry for laughing but it's all just too bizarre. |
