It was an extreme view, and when I suggested a different approach, you
rejected it as a personal attack. I'm glad you changed your position
eventually, even if you didn't provide a satisfactory explanation that
didn't contradict the positions you took earlier.
Somehow, if one of us is a "nubile teenage daughter" who just doesn't
"get it," I don't think it's me.
(And yes, I know you'll interpret my turning your own comment around
back at you as being a personal attack, but that's life.)
About 95% of the time, I'm on the same page with you, but I do reserve
the right to disagree on the remaining 5%.
