Sigh. No, I was being sincere.
I thought I understood, but after your last post I saw that I didn't understand before and understood even less now.
I take full responsibility for that. But I also take responsibility for perhaps not being able to understand.
I'd be perfectly willing to continue trying, but you'll have to talk in smaller bites maybe? if I'm to understand. And if you don't wish to change your communicative style, I perfectly understand, but I acknowledge my limitation in understanding what you're trying to say.
If that makes sense. I'm just saying there is a difference in communicative styles that is neither right nor wrong on either of our parts, but that may make discussion difficult.
All I meant by paternalistic (and perhaps I was overly succinct) is that some people have come here in the past and led me to understand that they believe we don't know what's best for us, and they would like to help us with that. I was trusting you to give us more credit than that.
