"That reply was a power play, as was the post that occasioned it. You guys stopped actually conversing at least two posts ago."

Yes indeed. The truth is certainly powerful. From my point of view, we never "conversed" at all. Stormhands asked a supposed rhetorical question and I gave a sincere answer to which he took offense and also revealed the ingenuine nature of his intentions to ksen. What I pointed out was that this is typical behavior for him as it is for others on this forum.

Stormhands, you get your wish...point made, subject dropped.

Ooooh...that'll cost you a tenth for "failure to recognize irony"...

...and another tenth for "passive-aggressive play."

Good attempt at getting the last word, however, although it may be far too soon for that gambit to work. =]
