How could you reasonably expect me to anticipate your irritability? You've irritated me by failing to see obvious moral indignation, but I wouldn't bother to complain about it. (I'll complain about pettiness, though.)
As it turns out, the person I quoted said exactly what I wanted to say. It doesn't need elaboration.
>It's a complaint at people being lazy in making arguments.
Godwin's law is a very lazy way to make that argument, I would expect.
