<<WTM, Do you stay within your affordability?

Nothing personal, but none of you're [sic -- could not resist] [expletive omitted] business. I am glad that you got it off your chest and shared that you do. You should be proud of yourself.

<<Do you make you assumptions from personal experiences, or are they just assumptions?

First, the word is "your" not "you." To the point, however, when I make an assumption, I will tell you that I am assuming. When I guess, I will tell you that I am guessing. When I "suspect," as I did on this occasion, I clearly indicate it. I generally (though not always) choose my words carefully so that they convey what I mean. If only "you" could as well.

But, this was not really about you or me. I also generally recognize when the focus of a discussion is shifted from what was being discussed to some new subject so that you can make a point -- albeit unrelated to the discussion. This tactic is usually employed by those who are unable to meaningfully defend their initial position.

In the future, you may want to consider hesitating to articulate for fear that you may deviate from the true course of rectitude. If you do, "you" are less likely to suffer the embarrassment of "your" own assumptions.
