To prevent miscommunication, I'd like to make sure we have the same meaning for shell game. I see it as meaning the use of a distractive tactic to confuse a person. The idea being that I was trying to distract the reader from something. Do I have that right? If we agree on the meaning of shell game, could you please described which part/s seems to be an attempt to confuse the argument? Thank you again for your reply, and I look forward to more.

Gawd,
To ask a little more clearly, what part/s of my post do you believe to be inaccurate. Do you think I misplaced facts in an attempt to confuse? If so, where? Thanks (June 25, 2016 at 12:55 pm)RetiredArmy Wrote: Gawd, You fit the classic shell gamer profile, intentionally or not. On the bet that you are a shell gamer I won't bother with you any more. If you're not I hope you live long and prosper.
I'm sorry to hear that Gawd, and I mean no offense. You said I am using trickery, and I don't think I am. I certainly don't mean to. If you change your mind and decide to discuss this, I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great weekend!
