We just want to relax and squirm in your mud. Have a lick.

Language can be aggressive and cruel, but is it violence?  Am I pinching someone by cheering for the Celtics?  Should I never disclose that the pope's head dress is a fish monster gulping for indulgences?  How 'bout I be considerate by being authentically provocative.  Focusing on "microaggressions" doesn't benefit a community confused by connotation, so they rally to censor the town crier pointing on the corner.  Actually micro is insufficient.  Let's go further, analyze what people "meant" to say obsessively, and finally eradicate unpopular perspectives.  Right, I'm calling for a rally against nanoaggressions.  These are peeves more basic than microaggressions; they create the foundation for every larger category of offense.  Some examples: looking past someone, smiling at someone who's trying to have a bad day, and wearing bright orange.  Better to just stay inside, alone, and not risk it.  Stay safe!
