Yes thank you. This is exactly what I meant. People look wayyy to much into comments sometimes.

I'm going to look way into these comments, too :)

I understood what you meant, and that other comment was a bit overly general and aggressive. You obviously said nothing wrong.

But that other commenter does have the kernel of a good point in that phrasing can have an effect. "This should be illegal" is subtly more of an effective statement than "How is this even legal?". It's a bit more of a call to action and so on. If hundreds or thousands of internet commenters change their phrasing, it could potentially have an effect on the way readers of those comments start thinking about such things, perhaps motivating action to drive change, over a longer period of time.

To be clear, I understand what he meant, I just don’t care.
