My question wasn't a "tactic" ... I was responding specifically to the earlier post! I didn't swoop in out of nowhere with this plot to personally attack anyone.  That's what you do.

"TimMueller" (although his name like all of our names is irrelevant to the conversation) wrote: "Those folks on the street are definitely worse off than I am, and worse off than any of the commentators here." I sought clarification that neither you nor he has offered. I don't know about him, but you seem to be fixated on ensuring the civility of a discussion when your very presence ironically ensures it will go the other way. You seem to be fixated on your belief that anybody cares what you think. "You'd be far more interesting," you write. Believe it or not, I don't care if you find me interesting.
