Think of it this way ...
If I were sitting in a bar talking to @aguayojoshua about this post, I might ask him "What could you mean by imagine I am Role-Playing?"
He might reply "If you had read my post and were to engage me in a thoughtful conversation what would you say?"
I would say "That's a thoughtful approach, perhaps if you expanded on your thought a bit ..."
This guy got it. Although it's not necessary to be that literal. XD
Just by making sure you're giving the other participant something to talk about, is enough.
