I understand. I admire your passion.
  Well, the lack of immediacy has to do with something that's
  important to me. *I'm passionate* about ... dispassion I guess
  you could say in communication. I don't care for hyperbole as a
  tool to convince people - I consider it emotional manipulation.
  [you should see how passionate I get when ASPCA's "Arms of an
  Angel" commercial came up on TV. I think I wrote 10 pages
  ranting about the emotional manipulation in that hyperbole and
  how it almost completely turned me off of caring about abused
  animals entirely].

  So that's my passion. I have passion, just tilting at different
  windmills.

  The rest I try to talk about dispassionately.
