What do you suggest I do differently, Leo?

Isn't that rather obvious?

And your suggestion is?

In a word: No.

It's not rather obvious, Leo.

Sorry to hear that, Jim. How simplified do you need things to be?

It's not about simplification, Leo. It's about clarity.

Why can't you just clearly and plainly state what you
suggest that I do?

I have - many, many times.

You must decide.

What *do* you suggest? Just speak plainly rather than
answering a question with another question, or a zinger.

What's your suggestion?

The way I see it, you have two options:

1. Continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.
2. Do not continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.

OK so far.

Glad to hear it!

So far, so good.

Option 1 is expensive - you become a possession of those who goad you
in to responding. A puppet, as it were, dancing at the end of
someone's strings....

That's your spin on it - does not address what actions you suggest *I*
take.

That is your current reality.

Option 2 is much more difficult than Option 1 - it requires the
intelligence to recognize a legitimate argument from bait, and
considerable inner strength to resist the drive to respond, even when
you know you are in the right.

This is your potential future reality.

So what do you suggest *I* do?

Decide!

Owned or free.

That's your spin.

That's your opinion.

Owned - or free.

You must decide.

The path you choose will be entirely up to you.

So there *is* a choice!

There is always a choice.

Yours to make if your are able to do so,

You must decide!

Choose wisely!

Wise by whose standards?

We'll all see the answer to that one soon enough - when you decide!

How would such a choice be demonstrated in concrete, practical terms?

Hmmm - you read the two options, right?

What actions do you suggest?

Decide! Only you can make this decision - you're on your own now.

Good luck!
