I don't think you're generally naive either, but on this you seem to be.
The "uh huh" is that I agree. The paparazzi aren't patsies. The public are.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fair enough. But I never called you names, and I want that to be clear. You went there, not me.

ita, I kind of took it the way Trudy did. Not arguing what you meant, but how it read to me.

I really thought you had and intended to respond in kind.
So, you know, if you didn't I didn't either. SInce I was trying to be in-kind.
Alright, my Grandmother might be dying. I need to just stop this conversationn ow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I mean, feeling of my own modern life? Can I pass that up?
Er, well, if it's anything like the Chinese "champagne" I had in China, I'd say pass. Unless, that is, you have a taste for Dimetapp.

That interests me. Because I described a stance--why does that look like I'm branding the person? How would one better phrase that without over-defending and losing the point?
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Trudy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If one has a fear of heights and/or ladders, one should probably not seek employment as a theatrical electrician. Just a thought.
In situations when I'm hiring people to work I'm supposed to be able to supervise and plan, not be the one hefting and climbing. Since I keep having to do that stuff, I'm going to have to figure how to be more ambidextrous. I seem to work the left biceps more than the right and the right triceps and forearm more than the left. And whatever I'm doing to my back is now spreading the pain and tension down into my right leg.

Trudy, your stance on this strikes me as so cynical it's almost wrapping back around to naive.
That was the opening to your comment. I didn't see it as a personal attack or anything - but I'm not sure how you separate the dancer from the dance on this.
