You do realise that you just used quotes in a way that contradicts what you just said, right?
I (and many others, you included, it seems) use quotes to single out a statement or phrase. In this particular case, I used them in an even more boring way: to mark a statement that I felt paraphrased your post.
I don't see how that's hostile. You seem to have a thing about quotes, though, since you remarked on them to someone else on this thread!
Anyway, I'm not the one who's worked up :-) I'm certainly not "derailed" (am I allowed to use quotes this time? Cheers!)... I was merely stating my opinion in response to your opinion!
