[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8445096, member: 7023840"] 1. No, you don't apprehend the majority of my posts. Your dismissive tone shows that. You assumed I didn't know what I was talking about- and when I finally responded (not after your first post, but after a dismissive and snarky aside) you incorrectly claim to understand. You don't. I don't even think you tried. But let me simplify this- someone asked about the quote in a certain context that I felt compelled to explain it, and I explained it. Period. I normally don't explain the quotes and jokes I use, because they tend to be Easter Eggs- either you get it, or you don't. If you still don't get it, that's okay. I don't need you to "get" me.* 2. I understand that you disagree with me. I'm cool with that.
