“You’re being pedantic.”
“I’m describing the difference between invasion and being invaded. Civilisations have occasionally found that distinction useful.”

It remains one of the finest accusations ever made against me.
Nadia reminds me of Occasional-Cortex insisting that people were "more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right." In her definition of 'morally right', of course.
I will throw in it's leftists, after a brutal murder, telling people to 'train with hammers' like the communist who murdered a woman, because that's such a morally correct thing...
