> Yes, he did. It is funny.

Yeah, it’s hilarious! Calling someone a monkey is such a clever and thought provoking insult!

> I don't know why we need to talk endlessly about it

If you are confused by this, why are you continuing to respond?

> When I said I decline to share my lines and boundaries here, I meant just that. I didn't mean that I need a lecture on CoC from you. I know what CoCs are and why they exist.

I really don’t think you know why CoC’s exist, because you are chastising people when they point out a legitimate violation (e.g. being the "morality police").

> But yeah... CoC applies to him too. So you've got a good point

Thanks for finally admitting this, I guess? Not sure why you needed to add all the extra argumentation about it, but at least you got there eventually.

> If this is such an important topic for you, please do report the violation to them

No thank you. I’m not actually offended by what he said, I just find it weird when people rush to his defense on this.

I'm not confused by anything. That was a rhetorical question. I continue to respond because there are other things that I care about and I have things to say about that. I don't care about what style or tone or words Andrew choses on their website. But I care about people trying to be morality police and discouraging someone blogging on their own website from writing rudely and writing politically incorrectly. So that's why I continue to respond.

Credit where credit is due. If you make good points I agree with, I'll certainly say that.

> Not sure why you needed to add all the extra argumentation about it, but at least you got there eventually.

Because there are other points of yours I don't agree with.

Must a person always 100% agree or 100% disagree? Can a person not 10% agree and 90% disagree? The latter is happening here.
