>I feel you'd used my ruleless relating fully out of context.<

My elders here established beyond argument that I was too young to have direct experiential understanding of the time. So it has been said that I missed the point on that phrase. I latched onto the pure semantic meaning there without enough of my own cultural context. So understand - it was not personal! It was in no way intended to impugn or belittle your argument.

I am a very literal person. It is possible that you are also. What might have happened is that we have differences in our semantics - different words mean different things to you&me.

I never intended to attack ot use your posts. I delight in a serious discussion. I am not afraid to get in over my head, and I rely on the indulgence of my interlocutors to let me know when and where that is. Often I can soften my little gaffes with an instance of wordplay - earn a round of virtual beer, as it were.

Maybe you will see fit to tell me. Just how have I violated the as yet tenuous terms of friendship?
