Thanks, I'm glad you understand and we're on the same page now. I appreciate it, I really do.

My fault, OP is reddit slang, it means "Original Post", here referring to the Einstein picture and associated title.

Anyway, I appreciate your thoughtfulness and self-reflection, as does saidit. :) All the best to you

We can still have fun, but with a modicum of decorum.

Exactly. There's plenty enough outlets for low-brow fun already out there, saidit is our chance to try and make something smart

Wallowing in guilt doing my other stuff, reflecting, an apt comparison came to me.

(Leaving aside all deeper esoteric skeptical analysis and prudish judgments) most would agree:

1) DisneyLand is fun. (Or the movies, or whatever you find fun.)

2) Sex is fun.

3) You don't have sex at DisneyLand (and drag people into it).

I'd never thought about it this way before. I'm just used to it everywhere in comment sections, and honestly I thought much of it was funny (not that I did much of it) and that others were simply hypersensitive and judgmental, maybe even SJWs.

Sometimes it's nice to get a cold shock to verify, reassess, and realign your ethical center. I still like swear for emphasis, but it's never been a compulsion or without purpose.
