    Okay, you don’t speak for all of us. People like me really don’t like it, and think it contributes harm.

      You don’t speak for all of us either, I was obese, I have since managed to (thanks to the wonders of being poor and having a physical job) lose a lot of the weight.

      I was not offended by someone calling what was once commonly known as a “Fat cat” (a rich person) financially obese, because it’s accurate and easily conveys the meaning and message, that these billionaires actively choose to keep hoarding money despite knowing that they couldn’t spend it in their lifetimes without buying countries (or islands ahem North Fox Island / LSJ)

      My original post never even referred to you, unless you’re also morbidly wealthy.

      Manufacturing imaginary attacks similarly manifests harms to legitimate discourse.
