The way conversations normally work, and not like an interrogation. You're familiar, I think. The other person's words are usually an important part of it.
I'm familiar, yes. I don't entirely mean to interrogate, but asking how to answer my question is hardly much of a conversation either. I gave you the answer that I had, which is to say that I didn't have one. I'm not in the habit of telling others how they should feel.
And it seems strange for you to want to hear what I think about two men who have known each other far longer than I've known them. Do you plan to grade me on my guesses? Measure how closely they hit their marks? I'll feel very silly if I'm wrong, but you don't seem to have any consideration for that.
