The last interaction wasn’t a “sexual reference”, even by Alicorns definition. I was trying to point out that her phrasing was a reference to LauraABJ’s implied beliefs about when a woman is rejecting a man not necessarily in a sexual context.
I’d be interested to know why the follow-up kept getting modded down. As far as I can tell, people just didn’t understand.
And I don’t know how this is non-sequitur or projecting sexual references. People here are drawing absurd inferences about someone’s preferences from one-time choices. It looks to me like the same kind of questionable reasoning used in the context I mentioned, and the same kind of thing Alicorn enjoys refuting.
Sorry for having an insufficiently refined red-flag detector, and for whatever offense I may have caused. Just make sure your offense is because of the topic, not because you just realized what your overextrapolation looks like in other contexts.
Just to raise the most obvious possible objection to your phrasing: there was nothing to prevent you from making whatever metaphor you suggested Alicorn could have employed. It is generally poor manners to invoke uninvolved people as supporters of your arguments without their permission, and in this situation, if Alicorn were interested in becoming involved in this thread, she could have posted herself.

Thanks, that make much more sense.
