Reading my post to the list makes me want to underline the need on my part
for a re-read before hastily pressing the send button.
On Matt's rejoinder, that authorial intent is not of "much use", I would
want to ask, "to whom?" The author, in my humble opinion, is not really
feeling wronged or misunderstood.
My humble thesis, actually, posited, as has been confirmed by Scottie, that
he couldn't care a flying flame bait if people took offense or not,
deploring, what he quoted as, the 'the crybaby culture of hurt feelings
...'.
People got offended? Life is tough, he would probably mutter, along with
some other imprecations.
That, Matt, I would conclude, was his intent. He likes them shaken and
stirred.
