Go right ahead! This is the forum for such deeds.

I meant no offence with that one. I just thought it was funny and it
was intended to clear some smoke after the gun fights here recently.
I thought, and still think, that you can take it with a smile.

Ok, some of us need to learn some more interpretations and
contexts of various other world views, I agree and I'm one
of them. But I really think you need some self-reflection about
this. Yesterday, you said the non-PC thing "You are also correct
that I don't equate Quality to morality", (what's PC?), and I
don't see much value in a "holistic approach to the MoQ" without it.
