Pass.
I can only assume from the fact that you posted this that the 2♣ bidder had a massive overcall and did not like the pass.

Yes, pass. I'll take my chances that even if partner has 17 good we aren't missing anything. If I bid, he'll often have a bit less than a super max and continue on to a bad game. My hand is a trashy 8 count.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

(a) We play 4♠? Are you implying that partner has a strong 5/6 black suited hand? Certainly not likely. If they balance and partner bids 3♠ then they have made a serious error, as I will raise to game. If they balance and partner bids 2♠ I am not going to move towards game.
(b) If partner has a strong semi-balanced hand, his 2♣ call may end the auction. If they balance with 2♦ or a double and partner passes, I am not planning on getting into the auction.
