Can I have a gold metal too? Sic!
The better ironic pun for Skepdick would have been "meddle."
All that glisters is not gold. And that includes sparkly paradoxes and contradictions.
I commend your patience and kindness. Perhaps the dick-troll is the Caliban that must be acknowledged.

Rather than "communication is multi-dimensional" (Skepdick)I'd prefer 'communication is achieved through many media'.
Thus pointing and other body language is a communication medium as animal lovers well know. actually if some man cannot understand body language then he is socially disabled.
All the arts are communications media.

Is that because he lives on the dark side of the moon? Or is he merely obscured by clouds?

I've never been a stickler for nomenclature.
Mediums. Spaces. Contexts. Dimensions. Communication channels. I use all of those interchangeably.

No shit. That's why your posts are so confused

Don't acknowledge me, my mommy loves me enough as it is.
Acknowledge the fact that what you call "trolling" is my mirroring your use of language.
I don't know if what I am doing is "trolling", but you seem to recognise yourself in me...

Idiot. That's an anthropomorphism.
Way to demonstrate your own confusion! By projecting it onto my posts.

But words have affective connotations!

I accepted your confusion before you even demonstrated it.
But if you insist.

We can explain the affective connotations of words, just as we can explain their denotations. These are language games. But explanations come to an end. Anxiety about circularity or infinite regress - that no saying says it all - is cured by the saying.

Medice, cura te ipsum.
Explain the effective connotations and denotations of the way that you use the word "explain", rather than going in infinite circles.
