[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3021950, member: 18225"] Cogent conversation with valid, informed exchanges aren't your strong suit, granted. You've derailed me with your inability to grasp multiple details and/or multiple view-points. So be it. I introduced you to the concept of the 'tangent', which is a mathematical term that relates to geometry and algebra: [B][I]tangent: (of a line or plane) touching, but not intersecting, a curve or curved surface. [/I][/B] The term has come to colloquially mean "a completely different line of thought or action", as applied to the original conversation. You (unwittingly) supplied a conversational tangent, I saw and raised your tangent with another tangent, which was in and of itself tangentially related to the original conversation. Still with me? And, you really don't see the hypocrisy in the Donald's "MIA" campaign? OK. [/QUOTE]
