You just can not STAND being unable to dictate the terms of debate, can you? You can keep insisting the issue is alienating fence sitters till your fingers are bloody stumps. It's not going to change the fact your punctiliousness more about comforting yourself, than anything else.
You're not even satisfied to scream in caps. You have to jack up the font size, too!
The glaringly obvious fault is your soi-disant conundrum is that changing the elements and the circumstances changes the dynamic. (Hmmmm, let's see...letters have no numerical value, therefore the statement "x+1=3" has no meaning)
Simply brilliant!
I can call you princess, right? It makes some wider point about political correctness?
