Nice care with your language there! You didn’t come to the pit first, I’ll grant you that. But the discussion began in IMHO. Do any of the posts [starting here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-mind-if-someone-parked-in-front-of-your-house/1031446/90) seem at all familiar to you?

It’s okay, you can certainly say that it wasn’t your intent there, either. But let’s be clear about motivations, forums, posting style, and results.

ETA: I will interpret your silence on the issue of my economic status as acceding that you were indeed making assumptions about me. Fair enough?
