Yes, of course. Should I read into this an implied request to write less metaphorically, or are you about to take us down some semiotic rabbit hole?

I wouldn’t read anything into it; but perhaps try to make less lazy arguments if you want to corner sonship who has the literary stamina of a camel, the stubbornness of a donkey and dodge skills of a hare.

Perhaps I should inform you that I am a temperamentally lazy and perhaps even stubborn man, and that I did not wish to corner @sonship as you have suggested, you vile scoundrel.

You're clever all right, but you also seem helplessly twitchy in the service of that cleverness.

I'd wager that during some stretch of your life you confided to select others the Sufi tale about the Scorpion and the Frog, as a way to excuse your own behavior.

“Vile scoundrel”

For using “corner” as a metaphor for pinning sonship down intellectually?

You think I’m trying to hurt you…and that the Sufi fable is an “excuse”?

I think you just didn’t like me picking up on your lazy retort to sonship and now you’re downshifting into the first word salad of nastiness that pops into your nut.

If you are starting to post disjointed posts like that, it's probably time for your nap, isn't it?

I do appreciate how much your post undermines itself. 😉

You’re projecting.

You've really lowered the bar when it comes to posting effort, haven't you.

You’re the one going off like a blunderbuss in a flower bed.

I’m concentrating my efforts into the “trinity described online” thread.

Obviously not.
