I will admit that is what you said. It matters to me precisely zero. I am not in the slightest insulted in the way you describe. I make pretty clear that originality is not my concern. What I say is what I think. If it is or isn't original really isn't my concern. So how could I possibly take umbrage except to say that I really am surprised at how you came to the conclusion that I somehow was borrowing. I'm actually quite pleased, with the exception of Rand, of the people you think I may have been, even if accidentally, channeling. It's a pretty elite bunch.

I would correct you if you were somewhat off the mark. I could do it without being insulting. I'll dismiss "petulant" as the silly dog-whistle that it is.

But you are not "somewhat" off the mark. You are WAY off it. And even then I could do it without being insulting, except for the same irritatingly boring tropes you throw out that I've long since deduced are the sign that a sane and rational conversation is no longer possible. We can discuss so long as we're discussing, like rational adults in control of our own brains. But that's not what I get. I find THAT insulting, so pardon me for returning the sentiment.

Oh, and just so you know, your claim that you "stopped reading on the second paragraph"? Yeah, not true. Because if you found my words insulting, you had to have gotten to at least paragraph 4, and even that was me stating that I wouldn't dignify your comparisons. Terse, but merely a statement of fact.

On edit: in the interest of accuracy, it was paragraph 3 where I stated that "getting it right" is not something you do very often. I apologize for my error.

This is a very common form of sign-off to these sort of arguments. I like it. Simple, direct, and a little tag-line-esque. It's like the DU version of Seacrest...Out!.
