I'm sorry you're offended that I called you a troll, but you offended me with your comment. Tit for tat. I don't know who you are, so I'm not sure why you think I should know you by now. I also don't know what collaborative relationship you are talking about. Have I missed something here?

I don't think I'm a great writer. I am, however, a good writer. There's a difference.

I'm not here for the Medium writing community. I have no interest in writing communities. Never have had. Never will. My ability to write is not dependent on a writing community. So if your cmment infers that people in the Medium writing community don't like me, it's water off a duck's back. I don't write for the writing community. I write for people who are interested in political systems, economics systems, climate change, etc.

Yes, you did state that we usually disagree. So why are you reading me? I don't see the point.

I'm autistic. I don't pick up on jokes. Sorry.
