. . . . I thought a while about a response . . . . even feigning surprise at your choice of words . . . . but, that would be ingenuous.

I actually thought you capable of recognizing quickly the subtle wisdom in what I said, albeit, shrouded in a bit of sarcasm. Yet . . . . I still believe you do know better. It's just that your knee-jerk reaction has to shoot from the groin before the intellect kicks in.

Regarding your follow-up quote . . . the fact that we all occasionally resort to quoting others, is a reflection of our desire to quickly respond, and not take the time to create and express original thoughts of our own. That is not a dig at you alone, as I am occasionally guilty of it, too.

Regarding the inference of your quote . . . . me thinks you know better than that, as well.
