I'm tip toeing around this debate now. The thought of me showing up with swords doesn't seem to sway my opposition a single bit, so I will maintain the pen is mightier than the sword for now ;D

This is a great point you raise about the blatant mockery. Many comedians have operated in this manner. George Carlin comes to mind, and he was multi faceted in this type of mockery, in that sometimes he maintained the sarcastic funny mockery, and other times he was outright angry with it. They still laughed.

That's where I start to get dizzy, because I'm going round in circles :D LOL --- now, I tend to believe that they (we, you, I and the rest) know. Their souls do.

Hehehe, I better throw that sword away ;D

Greetings 🤗
