Hmm... I don't recall that either of us said that. I did express surprise that I was being suspected apparently because I was actively trying to achieve something. But the way you said it- it provokes negative emotions. And that doesn't help anything. So if you were in some way offended by anything you read, try to become unoffended quickly. For no offense was intended, and being in an aggravated state does not aid clear thinking.

Well if we're telling the truth, then it's true, isn't it?

And the reason we discussed the ploy with each other was simply to see if we were on the same page. Building trust! You people wonder why we're trusting each other? Um, maybe because we're doing things to build trust.

Yeah, the only reason that we're the focus is because the rest of you people have made us the focus. We can't do it ourselves.

We were just going along doing our bit for the cause and suddenly we're jumped on for doing our bit. It makes little sense, and I agree with you that we're distracting. But guess what- it has nothing to do with us. Others have made us the focus.
