Yes, you have. 'I'm glad I've realized it's not about helping people as much as stepping on other peoples' toes now. That would be embarrassing if I didn't figure it out for another month or two..', that's what we little people call 'sarcasm' and don't pull 'sardonic' at me, the intent is the same, even if I'm not entirely sure how to tell one from the other.

See, that's fundamental difference between you and me that you don't seem to be grasping. I could care less about my rep. I care about my inmate, that's not 'getting through' to me, that should be blindingly obvious!
