Not to address any of your other points, but my downvote on that particular remark reflected the insult to Mitchell_Porter, not the fact that Alicorn would prefer you leave her alone.
Fair point. I agree that Mitchell_Porter may have had reason to object to it, but not Alicorn.
In the previous discussions, Mitchell had been repeatedly saying things like, "if no part of the system has color, neither can the system have color", and my comment was trying to make fun of this by saying that whatever beliefs he has about symphonies (the system) must apply to violins (the part).
Ahh, good analogy. I'd almost forgotten that this drama was going on in the (@#$!) monad thread.
