vous:
"...people really don't need to hear you ambiguously sound off on
topics of interest to them -- it better be worth their while, and I get
the
impression from you we're all just supposed to find this something like
a cosmic joke and I opine against... -- I suspect you presume too little
from your own case."

me, again:
I'll have to leave it up to others to decide who is more ambiguous in
our dialogue so far, Mister Rubard.

and again:
My own experience over decades of activism led to my assumption that
Marxists would realize immediately that statement was not only sarcastic
but a barb pointed at the fatuous conservative elites who sternly
advocate individual responsibility as solutions to social and economic
problems, while smashing any state or public advances for social
reconstruction that had been won by the working class.

and again:
I have endeavoured to explain myself in this matter as best I can.  If
you require further assistance in the interpretation of my writings,
please feel free to enquire.  I get the impression at times that we may
be interacting at cross-purposes.  I cannot know your intentions nor
question your motives, and I admit I am often mystified and confused by
your messages, but I will do what I can to add constructively to our
exchanges on this list.
