So by extension hadfg is an antivaxer? That's some pretty hardcore extrapolation you've got going on there.


I read it as exaggeration for comic effect. Maybe a cultural difference - it's a common way to make a point here in Britain.


Maybe. In Australia we call it "jumping to conclusions" or "unfounded accusations".


This Australian disagrees. C'mon man, consider the tone of the OP.


Consider the tone of my remark about what we call it.


Nah mate, I'm Australian and I understood pretty easily that it was a simile or parallel, not an accusation.


It's both, actually. Try reading the original "accusation" in a very sarcastic tone.

Poe's law and all.
