Contrary to what you might believe, I am not nor have I been upset or angry with you. Nor have I been taking things too seriously. For example: I wrote a whole reply about worshiping you and your intellect like a deity. Surely, you did not you think I was really worshiping you like a deity? At least the thought and imagery made me laugh.
Someone once told me, and as clunky as this statement is it might apply here; "Conceit will blind one to both the truth and the obvious".
