: The dictionary comment was avowed hyperbole, and I believe you understood it as such. "Cute", on the other hand — what — can you imagine a politician taken to task about whether a particular, notoriously useless policy decision by a predecessor was a good idea, trying to argue that it was well-intentioned (albeit useless) by calling it "cute", with a straight face? Seriously? --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:04, July 28, 2020 (UTC) | : The dictionary comment was avowed hyperbole, and I believe you understood it as such.

::Without getting dragged back into the rest of it, "what in the name of sanity" is not questioning someone's sanity. It's similar to "what in heaven's name" or "what on earth". It's also used in [[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]. Consider it a topical bit of stylistic flair.

:::I did not take it that way at all - just like your repeated attempts at putting me, and others, down by calling our views “weird”, “absurd”, “ridiculous”, etc. If this was anyone else they’d be taken to task - case in point my comment of “absolute joke” being highlighted as a personal attack.
