I wondered why you ASKED me about the man if you thought I had a toorabout to him. I didn't know I had one, but you did. Can you see how that might seem a little strange and surreal- when you then, after asking me about the man, THEN ask me why I mentioned him? Why I mentioned him because you brought him up. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

DId you think I meant the thread header was some sort of trap?
I was referring to the fact that you mentioned a man I had not mentioned, and then proceeded to grill me about why I mentioned him. I thought that was really odd. I still do.

Here you mention Laz for the first time- to me, who knows nothing about the toorabout yet, but who has not mentioned his name.

And here, you mention him AGAIN- and guess what? I still haven't mentioned him. But you are kind enough to tell me about the to or about. Check for yourself:

Then you proceed to ask me to explain why I did something I didn't even remember doing. But I do remember the whole thing now. And I think I gave a pretty fair description of what I did, despite the hazy recall.

You know I missed a lot of little bits of "joy" on the first go round! You talk about ME being nasty- do you remember:

"IMO you don't get to be nasty and also to be sanctimonious and bitter over what you see as the niceness-shortcomings of others. "

Here you helpfully tell me the toorabout I didn't know about works both ways even though I never brought the man up:

And with that, I bid you adieu. Because this whole thing has been like a Luis Bunuel movie. Or a Monty Python movie. Or a Bunuel movie crossed with a Python movie.
