You're right, I don't see the humour in this.

And it's not pedantic to question a misquoting when the meaning is completely different. Nor is it pedantic to question the relevance of someone's comment.

I don't think this quote means what you think it means.

>>that being mindful about the language we choose to accept socially is in general radical

Yeah, you're a hypocrite.

I am not upset, but based on your comment history, I actually expect higher of you.

"question a misquoting" <-- You didnt even get the FN quote in the first place, then attempt to make yourself all "enlightened"

Give me a FN break...

Your feigned self-righteous demeanor simply devalues your Truth, and I am assured that you will defend your mental superiority, regardless..

"often in err, never in doubt"
