Here's a shocking concept: language has context.
1 comments

The person you’re responding to is providing an example of context-sensitivity.
The person he's responding to is choosing to be obtuse in order to police other peoples' language based on rules derived by their political ideology, and does not care about context

I wish you guys could understand that

"Context for me but not for thee" is not a principled argument.

The rest of the comment is speculative: you don't know anything about their politics, or have any reason to believe they're being obtuse.
