Cliff:

LOL You know I wasn't speaking of your "No, John"? comment. Do you
even know your doing it?

We're not English majors here, we all make errors of grammar and
punctuation. John should have used a comma instead of a period. What
sort of person would ignore the complete thought and focus on a matter
of punctuation?

Now you're just being silly since you think it will defect attention
away from your own trolling or errors of comprehension.

You didn't seem to grasp it when John said essentially the same thing.
Why was that? His explanation seemed reasonably clear to me.
