Rapaire:

I am glad to hear your explanation for what I have hitherto conceived to be merely brutal antisocial showing off. And although I suspect your explation is in large part pure rationalization for a bad habit, I applaud that you undertook to at least come up with something approximationg a rational syntax. However, I maintain that in showering your audience intentionally with globs of relative mystery and obscurity, you are not communicating with them, but manipulating them; and these difference is even underscored by your explanation.

It would be more help, rather than betraying the use of a communication line to transmit anti-communication, to inform and educate. Thus, bringing about understanding as a more direct result of your own communication rather than essentially slamming people for not understanding. No-one, even Thee, is of such beadth and depth of exposure and thought as to have no missing data on the world. Why make this a condition of manipulation, inferiority, or punitive scolding? Be of more help and you will be more helpful.
