Subject: RE: BS: Too obese to execute
I call it nothing of the sort, Musket. Whence you get that? And what do you mean by 'unwittingly', precisely?

Impugn my intellect all you like: my withers will remain unwrung. In such cases one just leaves it to fellow-catters to judge the 'intellectual' battle.

It's a free country; so you can call things what you like, but it doesn't turn them into what they are not. If you want to call a Cadbury's Fruit & Nut Bar a Big·Mac, there is no rule to stop you; but it won't taste any different. And you can likewise call judicial capital punishment 'murder' until you are blue in the face; but that won't transform it into murder in any meaningful (as distinct from tendentiously emotive) sense whatever, to anyone but your goodself.
