You're assigning motives to me that I don't have. Maybe that is the distinction, you think how you appear to an audience is important, I'm viewing this no differently than I would a private conversation. I'm not performing or signalling to anyone.
Why are you pushing back at me in a private conversation then?
Why wouldn't you do the same if I said something outrageously offensive in public?
