"Pwnage" is the word you're looking for.

Um. No. He stated his "impressions." Fine. I stated my impression of his i
"impressions." Why then are you trying to take issue with me for doing
the same, albeit with more pwnage?

So, paraphrasing, your "underlying presumption" is the important
concept here, and I somehow am supposed to work at creating a better
"underlying presumption" in your head, by expressing "interest" in
"changing my behavior" to some other mode that is less consistent with
your "underlying presumption."
At least that's my impression. :-}

I would have said it differently, but as long as you get the hint that
you are just wasting your time, then that should be close enough for
you.

Who said that?
