I don't believe I said I couldn't take heat, nor, if you know me, has there ever been any indication I can't. I can ignore all the heat you or anyone can dish out- or combat it with like heat(which I did not find a particularly happy strategy in the past, since it would tend to sink me to the level of whatever opponent I was facing). What I am talking about is effectiveness. Because I sort of agree with you politically, I would prefer you to be effective, but I certainly can't make you be. And I'm not particularly interested in gardening.

You have confused what I can stand or not stand as a personal matter, with what I have suggested is effective for communication/debate/conversation. I don't know why you confused those two things, but that's what you've done.

"go discuss gardening."
In some circles that can be construed as a sexist remark. And you owe E an apology
