A cynical and fatuous answer.

And you know it.

(Note: no quotes around "know" there.)

I only put quotes around "know" because of an earlier comment I made .

Yes, I am a cynic, but I don't see how my answer was foolish...only the retort attached to my answer. It's all done in good fun .

Bake on topic...

I rarely use the word "rape" because it sounds unnatural to me out of the obvious context, but I do promote using words to their fullest potential in most instances. In the case of this particular word I probably wouldn't use it out of the obvious context for the reasons already stated, I just wanted to argue a point which I see to be valid.

Good point. Although I'm satisfied to use words to their full potential.

(Sorry . . . couldn't resist one more dig. Evidently I need a vacation.)
