For the record it was David who first brought up the political allegory so this comment should be directed in his direction. As for your second point, I find it disappointing but not suprising that you "presumed" this comment to be an insult. This is precisely the thing which has caused so much poisonous discourse in recent years. Some people take any opinion they disagree with and look for ways to interpret it as an insult. This gives them a lever to claim that anyone who holds that opinion is a chauvanist, a bigot or worse. This must stop.
