> See, it's even worse for Boeing. Now their good planes are lumped together with negative connotations about their bad planes in negative news stories that have nothing to do with Boeing, while getting discussed in forums rather than the actual topic of the article. Which was something about loose bolts making outdoor equipment loud. Damn, it happened again. To say nothing of the appropriateness or applicability of bringing up the 767 in the original article, which was almost certainly a case of SEO abuse, your usage of passive voice obscures your own role in contributing to and continuing this phenomenon. I’m not sure that you were aware of the distinction beforehand from your comments, and regardless, your comment here now glosses over your own role in virally and memetically propagating the same blunder that your passive statements ascribe to no one with a view from nowhere. Something something glass houses, casting stones, and so on.

No, I was fully aware of what I was doing. I was not in a fugue state. I was in complete control of all of my faculties. It was an example of taking two things totally unrelated and smashing them together to make a pointless point. The subtlety might have been lost on you, but it does not have any bearing on whether I was cognizant of my actions.
