Exactly this. I hate metaphores because they easily corrupt a message, or make nonsense seem sensical. I only use it with NT's because it helps getting something concise across...

all speech is metaphor.

and it's abundantly clear from this thread that so many of you are acting like self-righteous, arrogant jerks who do not understand that. "so it must be wrong, if someone as smart as ME doesn't understand it, with my perfectly accurate speech!"

Get off your high horse and tell me where I implied that.

What I stated was disliking the use of metaphores. That I use it because it helps fascillitate communication with NT people over what I personally prefer.

so apparently from this thread i'm figuring out that if i just repeat myself, i am communicating well and i can blame you for not understanding. let's give it a go: All speech is metaphor.
