Obligatory Intro

I’ve found that trying to have a dialogue on social media threads is like pulling an angry cat out of a small hole bare-handed. 99% of the time the entrenched cat ends up further back in the hole; you end up scratched, scarred and bloody; and the end-state is the cat remains in the hole, just more aggravated than it was when it swiped out at the world in the first place. The cat would rather you just pay tribute, say it is a good cat and leave a treat as you move along.
