I’ve been staying out of this, because you’ve seemed impervious (in the last
few weeks since this topic has been discussed) to acknowledge any opinion other
than your own. Now I’m just angry.

*Of course* you meant to start a language war. You said:

Them’s fighting words — especially in a space like this that is inhabited by
other highly opinionated people. If you don’t want to start a language war,
stop posting here and go away.

The other thing you said:

is both clueless and passive aggressive. Enough already.
