I was indeed being pedantic, but my defense is that I take words, concepts and meanings seriously. I absolutely agree with the substance of what you have to say, and we do well to remember Mussolini and Hitler. I must say, with reference to your earlier points, that I don't think the offending blog amounted to hate speech. White men are not, in fact, at risk of losing their vote; and it is inadvisable to overreact the way the ombud did.
