A man receives ten pancakes to take out to his friends. He puts Tabasco on them, because sometimes he likes Tabasco on his pancakes.
His friend says "Hey, man, don't put Tabasco on the pancakes! We all have to eat these!"
The man doesn't hear his friend.
He goes back in to get ten more pancakes; this time he puts blueberries on them. He brings them out.
His friend says "Hey, man, did you hear me? I said don't put Tabasco on the pancakes!"
This time the man hears him. "Oh," he says. "Sorry. You're right. It was inconsiderate of me to put Tabasco on the pancakes. I shouldn't have assumed that you like what I like. Hey, can I still put blueberries, though?"
His friend says "I'm not sure you understood me. I said no Tabasco."
He says, "yeah, I got that bit. No more Tabasco on the pancakes. Still, I feel like you're mad at me for the blueberries - are you sure these are OK?"
"No seriously, I mean it. NOBODY GETS TO PUT TABASCO ON MY PANCAKES."
Then the first man gets all confused and writes a slightly snarky analogy.
The point being, yes, I understood the "no playing editor" complaints the first time I read them. I apologized, and I told you that I would stop doing it, two posts ago. And again last post. At this point we're not talking to each other any more; our conversation has diverged. We're discussing different things. Can we just wrap things up before this discussion gets even more disjointed?
