Got it! You want to continue this thread but you want to be the only one doing the talking. Jessicar
Jessicar, If that is what you think you have got you are mistaken.
I will try again. If I was to start a thread about Football and then go on to give my understanding about this game and encourage others to discuss this also, then that is one thing.
Then if you were to enter the dialogue and start discussing Tennis and think we are talking about the same thing because tennis happens to also be a sport, then that would be another thing. Yes it is true they are both sports, they both have balls (lol).
Now if I was to point out to you we are talking about different things and discussing tennis in this manner is not helping us understand football and how to play it say. If at that point you take offense or feel I am being tyrannical or narrow minded because in this thread I do not want to focus on tennis or sport in general, I would say why not start a tennis thread and discuss that. there. If you have anything to add to the topic of football that can help us understand it, great. And even within that topic there is room for disagreement.
I not sure what you hope to accomplish by insisting on characterizing me in these ways and it doesn’t hurt my feelings, well maybe a little bit, sob, sob. But it’s distracting.
