great story bro. I get it, you took offense to me taking 'devil's advocate' - look, it was just a figure of speech and I don't want to discriminate against your sensitive sense of fairness, so we'll split it; I'll take the figurative half and you can keep the literal half that you've already claimed.

but seriously, you're use of unattributed quotes is confusing. Is this supposed to be cited material or something you just wish you were citing?

Now I know why Stack Exchange folks are such nazis about formatting.
