I think we have a cultural chasm that is impeding our conversation. You are not understanding the nuances, points and meaning of my text.

Sarcasm is a bitch, know. So is rhetoric. So is irony.

So ---I am sorry, but I cannot continue to dialogue with you because it is like talking to a wall.

A wall of implacable obtuseness.

I will mention one more thing before I go:

Thank you for so generously and profusely proffering your opinions, analyses, critiques, predictions and historical recitals regarding the United States, which is so obviously not your native country.

I am often criticised for weighing in on Ukraine when I am neither Ukrainian nor Russian. It is good to know that my doing so is actually completely acceptable and totally righteous - at least as far as you are concerned - and we can all feel free to educate people about their own country, government and history.

Thanks again!
