58. Now you are telling me what I feel as well.

Read it again. I repeat what you said, which I am assuming is either what you think or is an overt lie, and telling you that I think you are wrong.

You only think you perfectly understand it, but you don't.

At no point did I tell you what you think. I told you that what you think is wrong.

But nice way to dodge everything else I said.

I am far from infuriated. If you infuriate me, you will have successfully pushed my buttons and I will retreat.
