I didn't think I was lecturing, just drawing a distinction which is too seldom made in everyday discourse. I wouldn't have bothered in a note to you, but I've always thought blog comments are directed to a public audience at least as much as to the blog owner.
I am perfectly aware of the existence of real no-kidding fascists and, though I haven't looked for them on the Internet, I'd be amazed if there weren't spots where they congregate. I don't know enough about Damian Thompson to be able to tell how surprised I should be if his blog comments are one of them.
