Hi Joe,
Ya' know, I've never been able to make much sense out of the things you say.
It's certainly not because, as you remarked recently, you're a plumber.
It's just never apparent to me how what you say matches up, refers, or,
except in a very general sense, connects up to the things you're responding
to in other people.
You've surrounded yourself in an aura of Socratic irony, which by its very
nature exudes a slight sense of superiority. You're not the only person to
do that around here, but the effect on others is to make them a little
annoyed. You're irony is never as thick as it is in others, but combine it
with the confusion caused by your more conspicious obscure, nigh-invisible
angle of commentary, and it just doesn't sit well most of the time.
So, I wish I could say I understood what you were saying. I believe I got
the general drift, but I'm sorry we can't strike up a dialogue to resolve,
what I have to believe, are our apparent differences. There's just little
way for people to get a handle on what you're saying so as not to sound
foolish when responding to you.
Sorry,
Matt
