it's an appropriate use of the term for obvious reasons

I explained why it wasn't appropriate, and it's not obvious as I obviously asked for elaboration.

Bullshit. I speak with intention and aim for clarity. I defy you to try to prove I just use buzzwords.

Bullshit. I was a fan of Boiling Frogs Post long before it became NewsBud and followed them for a while until their pay-for-access model kicked in, then I quit entirely when Sybil Edmonds lost her credibility in a minor feud with James Corbett over some obviously petty bullshit.

" The boiling frog is a fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly. "

I knew what the metaphorical term meant then as now. And simply denying it doesn't make you correct. And you have not explained how it was a "bad take" or "it's an appropriate use of the term for obvious reasons".

I think you're irritating and full of bullshit.
