78. Sorry lost track in all the people kicking me around.

Not means negative. Fairly simple concept,

Sorry if my phasing appeared to imply that that every single use of "Not All Men" was simply to counter "All Men." I acknowledge that there are jackholes out there that are using it to distract. But some of it is in response to "All Men" or an implied "All Men."

Which you appear to not believe. Which is why I asked the hypothetical. If we could find that post, in your opinion, would that mythical, mystical phrasing be appropriate?
