And if I worded it differently, than yeah, I totally could understand why people might get mad, but this was a perfectly innocent and innocuous off-the-cuff response to a post that seemed to expect some sort of joke response.

One post, five words and nuclear effin' war. It's pretty amazing.

Wait, you think we would be justified if you had thought of a more offensive wording for a "your kids are having a drug-fueled orgy" joke? -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 13:11 9
- That is not what I said. You're misquoting me. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:13 8
  - It.... is a nearly word for word quote. - TFox Jun 21, 13:14 7
    - I said "Probably having a drug-fueled orgy"... - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:17 6
      - how many angels can dance on the head of that distinction? -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:18
      - Wow, that is a really important distinction. -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 13:18 4
        
        I'm not saying he *is* a douchebag, just that he's *probably* a douchebag. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:20
        
        See, if you were a professional writer like him, you'd understand. - Subversive Jun 21, 13:19 2
        
        we should change his nick from "shades" to "blinders", probably. -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 13:20
        
        I thought TFox was a lawyer. And they would know all about the importance of wording. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:20
