I didn't hear any substantive argument against the validity of the
last (?) message I used that included the f-word. It was, if I
remember correctly, the one asking why Ben (?) included the full spam
in his reply.
This is just to challenge your assertion of "inversely proportional".
You might personally value the message in an inversely proportional
way, but I don't think you can extend that "value" to "validity"
(which I think is a more objective standard) without more of an
evidentiary foundation. I think I've presented a good counter
example.
