It does give me some hope that KimStu DOES indeed understand the point being made though and might be looking for a way to save face. Might that be the case? If so, I am sure it can be arranged 🙂

While we are on the topic, this KimStu post that came up in a thread I am reading also seems to indicate that s/he understand full well the power of a misplaced metaphor that is a trope for racism and why it is best avoided:
