Where's the insult, Aspenglow?

My last eight posts in that thread. Unless you’re telling me just to shut up, I don’t see where I’ve insulted anyone here, merely disagreed with them (and mostly not even that):

A simile is a type of metaphor.

I like jokes when they’re funny.

I do say so. A simile is a type of metaphor that uses “like” or “as.”

Czarcasm:

Using the term incorrectly , as you insist on doing, will just confuse people.

It ain’t me who’s using it incorrectly. I don’t use it. I don’t even approve of it. It’s all the people, some of them in this thread, who are defining it willy-nilly and expecting others to understand their clear meaning, which is what I’m trying to point out. Everyone understands what it means? Yeah, sure, if it means nothing.

CairoCarol:

all similes are metaphors,

which is precisely what I asserted, and which you denied.

Can anyone make this expression make any sense to me?

Well, we’ve tried, and we all seem to agree, and you just keep arguing with us. Why is that?

Don’t know. You’re a pretty argumentative bunch. Take @CairoCarol --I say “all similes are metaphors” and she comes back with a link that asserts exactly that point, so I say that I agree with her link, and she asks me to “at least click on my links,” and then proceeds to quote the part that supports what I told her in the first place. And I’m argumentative?

Pretty good. So this is what my personal ad says as of now:

“Do you want to walk with me down the trail of life, making memories along the way? Can you make me laugh, and are

you sensitive to my needs, as I am sensitive to yours? Do you have an ear to lend, can you keep my secrets close? I love music, some types more than others, of course, and I’m equally comfortable dressing way up or just kicking back in a t-shirt and shorts. Most of all, I want someone who wants love, and who knows what to do with it. Are you my partner in crime?”

Have I said anything? Tell me please, and I’ll edit it right out. This is just [GENERIC CONTENT-FREE PERSONAL AD] with some verbosity tossed in. You know absolutely nothing about the person who wrote it.

Shoulda worked “Age is just a number” in there, too.
