Fair enough. I understand what you're getting at, and I'll put this in my pocket for next time. Thanks.

I will say I think it's incredibly difficult to communicate all the nuances, tones, inflections, reactions, body language, emotions and energy that go on in a particular situation.

Which is why, in a forum such as this one, taking an approach such as "Hey, fiasco, instead of what you said, what if you had tried XYZ?" is probably a more meaningful and productive approach to a discussion instead saying "Well, you crapped all over that coach, way to go."

That's just childish, and it's picking for an argument just to pick for an argument.

I accept the blame for taking the bait.
