text: Sorry that I expressed an opinion you found offensive to your delicate sensibilities...next time I'll only make comments that are more politic...not! Me thinks you doth protest too much, though I can't imagine why? it appears to me that you are suffering somewhat from the very over reach similar to what you have accused me of. You were right about one thing and that is that I'm not at all interested in unity but freedom to express thought and opinion.
  
  Take a breath is simply a colloquialism for taking a pause and is not dismissive. Dismissive would be if I called the comments inane which I didn't. I recommended a pause (to rethink) because of the apparent blanket indictment of politics/politicians as something inherently bad and the apparent attempt to disconnect them from their role in leading social change. After all, isn't that the purpose of public rallies to influence public policy by influencing those that make it and implement it? I really don't get what your problem is?
