I am not you, mind you, so my narrative here is my narrative. I enjoy your perspective and am pleased that you added to my post here even if you slightly deviated from my point. I welcome you to deviate any time. You generally help me to ponder things, which is really as much as I ask from any poster. You are creative, thoughtful, and back up your claims.
I have no reason to bicker with you and wish to avoid that in the future. You might try to give me some more room at times. Thank you.

Brutally defensive? You got a little testy Cary because I told you Stein ran in 2012 and Obama won.
