What is the reason for the shame? Why did you write this?

Sandman
Again, a lot of questions about my motives when you've already told me what my motives are *AND* that I am denying them! My god, you're really stumbling on your own pants here.

Tony Cooper
Motives? Where'd that come from? A "motive" is what caused you to write what you did.

Sandman
Why can't you read? Your question is still quoted above:

"Why did you write this?"

That's you asking a question about my motives.

I asked why you wrote this particular statement. Your "motives" are a broader category of reason and involve a plan or a recurring impetus to do something.

I note that you have still not explained what you meant. You say it's a shame, but not why it's a shame. We generally use the phrase to indicate that something is being done that is wrong, or wrongs someone, but you have not explained what is wrong with a store not discounting products.

Surely you had some reason to add this. You must have some basis for thinking that it is wrong or wrongful to not offer a discount. Can you not explain that?

Yes, run away, Tony. It's all you're good at.

Are you running away from an explanation?

Just substantiate why it's a shame that the store doesn't discount accessory products and put an end to it.
