Innocuous: "Not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility," per my dictionary. "Fuck off and die" is intended to give offense and arouse strong feelings of hostility, contrary to what Barry is telling Michael. Not a *threat*, but most definitely not "innocuous" (which is what I said earlier). > I explained what > I meant by it -- I was dismissing you, writing you > off completely, telling you to go away and argue > with someone who takes you seriously, because I > do not. "Fuck off and die" is what you say when you are extremely angry. It's not what you say to someone whom you don't take seriously. <snip> > > And because I believe something a friend tells me from > > an eyewitness, I am a cultist, and paranoid at that. > > See what I mean about not getting it? > > What makes you a paranoid cultist is the fact that > *you* are upset because I just didn't automatically > buy your story as true when you said it. No, he's pointing out that the story so upsets you that you called him a paranoid cultist for believing it. <snip> > You're just not that important to me, one way or > another. Which is why Barry banged out another long, insulting rant: to convince Michael that he is just not that important to Barry.
