      You could also use my comment in good faith and not turn it into some underlying negative hit piece. The same could be done to a number of your recent comments by taking a word or phrase out of context or from obliviousness (like fear mongering) — when you were clearly not using them in negative ways.

    Yes. Did you reply in good faith or not a native English speaker? Or maybe it’s an American thing? Otherwise, the usage is pretty normal. If I had used “fight” would you also say did I mean to help? Since that’s an incredibly common word to use and it’s also technically an aggressive word.
