hey, friend, I figured you would see that “[redacted]” letter heading thing and smirk in appreciation of my sharp wit, and know better than to respond.  I sure didn’t think you would trip over that.

I didn’t mean to set you up, but you’ve got to learn to pull a punch once in a while.  

I am not your adversary.  We merely disagree over who would make a better Governor (and Congressman from CD-5.)  

Sorry.

and just so you know, I did not use “guidon” to trick you, either.  It’s a fairly common word, especially since I was using a battlefield metaphor.  

When I don’t know what a word means, which happens more and more, I google it.

When I first started posting here, under another handle that I forgot the password to, I used lots of arcane terms, because I like precise language.  

I was accused twice of using a Thesaurus to compose my posts, which was false.  

As a result, I have dumbed down my jargon a little.  So do several others with better vocabularies than me.  “Guidon” is not unusual.  

Folks don’t use big words or unusual words to impress or put others down; they do it because they enjoy the richness of the English language.
