But here in Mobile, Alabama, they frown on such things. More so than the same sex sex type activities, the inanimate electronic objects love lovers sends people around here into furors of religious hysteria, complete with fainting, foaming, and city wide ordinances.
Don't believe me?

Because his post there was the most flattering thing anyone (who didn't already know how to play me) has ever said about me. I fall in love with the world and myself anew as I type, just thinking about it.

Er, sorry for the old hammer as a gift.
Yes, you deserved better and I can only offer that my intent was better than my delivery.
And your (ahem) response reinforces my good impression of you.

Okay. Now I can't tell if I've been outplayed, or simply didn't succeed in making myself clear.
If the old hammer is a metaphor for the post on this thread, to which I was saying, in effect, "Ahem. We can hear what you guys are saying. Because we're sitting right here, you know," then:
No worries. You're sweet to apologize, and that's much appreciated. But seriously, we're cool.
If, on the other hand, the old hammer is a metaphor for the Overton Window comment, then:
I guess what I wrote must have been too arch by three-fifths. Because in all sincerity, you could not have said anything more pleasing or beguiling to me if you were a professional con artist and highly skilled cold reader. I was thrilled and I emphatically reject your apology, which, to be candid, I view as little more than a malicious attempt to deprive me of the rare narcotic pleasure of uncut wholesale-grade flattery. And I'm certainly not about to let anyone get away with that shit.
Which is fortunate. Because it means that we're still cool.
