Surely your taking certain actions doesn't depend on whether any other poster to babble "would be happy with" your doing it?Yet your question alone shows ~~visibly~~ as Lou likes to say-- how much you cater to him, and give him special privileges--
This is seemingly because he has make himself so unavoidable and continuous a presence that you've backed further and further into some sort of need simply to satisfy him-- if only he will be quiet and leave you in peace.
Just because one poster simply won't cease and desist assailing you with such an endless and self-reinforcing litany of insistences about certain phrases that are obnoxious to him-- should you literally step into the echo chamber of this distorted universe-- where a few phrases from several years ago are worthy of this relentless energy-? --- phrases that had been laid to rest and would for all intents and purpose not particularly exist-- had Lou not given them a third, fourth and fifth life by citing them over and over again?
Words have a certain life-- and if they don't catch fire with other words and actions, they gradually lose their vitality-- and eventually sputter out-- unless there is someone who blows on the flame, and feeds the fire, so as to keep them alive. Great writers are kept alive by the fire of their readers. Noxious phrases apparently are also subject to being kept alive by those who are compelled to rehearse them, crying out for some revenge.
And honestly--- you give Lou even this privilege of certifying that your unique action in his case is acceptable to him?
But you see-- he won't go away and is not so easy bought off, it appears--- and requires now that you do what you alone consider right-- without it in the least stifling his eternal protest that you have not done enough.
You had better be cautious about the can of worms you may be opening here.
