Invariably? That sounds like hyperbole.

When one stats analyzing figures of speech it is often an indication their argument is breaking down. I take it you would not want your son or daughter to have to endure what post #246 describes.

Invariably is a word, not a figure of speech. I’m just saying that end of year roasts are common, and most of them don’t require therapy, a lawsuit, or a newspaper article. This example might skirt “over the line”, but really it all seems a little silly.

Post #246, as I said in my reply to it, is clearly over the line. This one, not so much.
