Surely not.

I’m too busy laughing.

Everybody is trying so hard, not to ‘get it’.

Even you, most worthy word-smith, haven’t let go of “Dimwit”.

So? I shall, with your permission, view your cast aspersions as tokens of respect and appreciation, whomever they might be directed towards.

The fact is you like us, otherwise you’d not waste a moment upon us, you pussycat you.

But ‘human nature’, as you suggest, often is not.

Fortunately, we are all humans here. Therefore, we all can understand, even if our behavior might suggest otherwise.

And a sense of purpose. My underlying point isn’t threatening at all. It’s to level the charge that is more difficult to rebut, as between “torture” and “cruel and inhuman.”

I’ve not defended the conduct, I’ve suggested a significant tactical redirection that I think will be effective to accomplish your ends.

Piss and moan all you want about how I delivered the suggestion, but I honestly believe it would have gone unnoticed if I’d not been an asshole about it.

Whteher or not it’s acted on is to be determined. I’m not holding my breath.
