>By your own admission, you use words with the intent to give offense as a form of humor.
I think you're talking about me (nobody9999) not thegrimmest.[3]
With that in mind, what I said was "I'd add that I have a big mouth and am often deliberately inappropriate in (mostly successful) attempts at humor. But not in contexts where such things are socially unacceptable"
Let's "unpack" that. I am "deliberately[0] inappropriate[1]" in this sense:
deliberate (adj.)
2. characterized by awareness of the consequences
inappropriate (adj.)
not appropriate
which is useless without defining the term that's being negated[2]:
appropriate (adj.)
especially suitable
There is certainly intent, but inappropriate doesn't mean "giving offense," it means not especially suitable.
As you've implied and I agree, words have meanings. But you're ascribing a meaning to a word that isn't accurate.
Why is that? Are you unfamiliar with the word? Or are you simply making an assumption as to my motives and/or thought processes?
In either case, I'd ask that you reassess your statement.
>The rest of your comment is bad faith condensation.
Is it? I (unlike you) didn't quote me out of context.
I (unlike you, despite being asked to do so several times) responded with specific informattion to clarify my point.
I (unlike you) assumed good faith on your part and attempted to more clearly explain my thoughts. You did nothing of the sort and made a point of putting words in my mouth that I never said or implied, and don't believe.
It's unfortunate, but it seems I've been caught not taking my own advice[0]. Again. More's the pity.
>You're claiming that you're deliberately inappropriate but only when it's appropriate and never when it would give offense.
Yes. That is almost exactly what I said and definitely captures my meaning. I'm glad I could (after a fashion) get my point across to you.

[3] Perhaps thegrimmest did say something like that, but I didn't see it. If they did, my apologies.
