As far as your specific questions about it, they go beyond the scope of my dialog here with you, and I don't have the energy to expend addressing them, especially given the likelihood of more questions in response.
I'm exasperated and tired, Lou. I'm exasperated because whenever I try to facilitate what appears on the surface to be a simple need for assistance or a specific problem of yours, I end up feeling confused and powerless. It's as if I'm engrossed in a TV program only to find that suddenly the channel has changed to something completely different, more complicated, and in a foreign language. Wouldn't that be confusing? This is what it feels like to me when the topic changes from a simple, specific need or problem to potential discrimination or two standards.
Add the above information to the feelings I described in my "never mind" post above, and perhaps you might see why I feel I need to disengage from this dialog. I likely will feel wary of entering in future dialogs with you as well.
