So your entire post was based on the premise that my character would be using the sword in the same manner that Meats had, despite every indication to the contrary and the fact that the sword wasn't even in a ready position at the end of my last post?

Sounds like I wasn't the one who wasted a post. You had no reason at all to assume that I'd go on the offensive all of a sudden, yet your entire post is based on it. I never even hinted at trying to attack in my next post.
