I have no idea what you are trying so hard not to say.

But it does serve as an excellent example of elliptical talk.

Upthread a bit, it appeared that there were some people that had
something interesting to say about some FB group that putatively holds
reservations against the mention of this mailing list among its
posters(?).  It also had every appearance that they wished to impart
this information to the group.

But then whatever resolve they had to do this died in mid-composition
(even though it was sent anyway.)

Prompting my request for plain talk.  And then I got this weird
response from some unrelated person who chooses to look down on me and
teach to me (about sophomoric and vague ejecta, to look cool,
superior, and perhaps even 'privy to the eastern mysteries'?) about...
I'm not sure what.  Tolerance of otherness?  Do you feel better about
yourself now?  I certainly don't feel shamed, so I'm guessing that was
your goal?  Just what does that mean, 'otherness which does not
exist'? I think I may have, without trying, flipped some switch.  Is
'you people' so loaded with negative connotations that one cannot any
longer simply say 'you people'?  Am I gonna start a race riot or
something?

And, since you sent this to the mailing list server (ellipsis)

P.S. I hope you enjoy this rant as much as I did scrawling it. :-)
P.P.S. That'll larn ya.
