You and the reference comment are engaging in dog-whistle politics, where you make 'innocent' comments that you are well-aware is a coded call to like-minded people to band together. Characterising the comments as 'innocent' is a hallmark of such things.

And seriously, how can a comment like the parent, who is explicitly aware of the expected response, be classified as 'perfectly innocent'?

Aaaand now you've stooped to insults. We're done here, and so is the thread.

Out of curiosity, why do you not consider your accusing me of 'rabidly attacking' the seed comment as being an insult?

Calling an attack an attack is not an insult.
