Steer the ship sometimes


The frame has been presented and you have been obliged to respond with either A or B. Maybe you should wait for your turn. You sense the issue you want to touch on is implicitly present. It should surface sooner or later. But it never does so instead of waiting you make a soft leap and throw in your 'C' right there. You have slightly deviated from the rules but the force of it was unarmed. The initiator has the option of acknowledging and responding or slamming down and demanding the A/B dichotomy be adhered to. Such a violent move would imply the frame was intentional, a rhetorical trick from the beginning. Maybe it wasn't and we are allowed to veer. Maybe it was and the mask is off, or pinned on if you will. Either way we made it to C even if only for a bit.

A ponderous start to your blog. Let your blog take you to C, D, E and beyond!

The cagey initiator was shooting for C all along.
