риторическая фигура, за использование которой, КМПВ, будем убивать:
“Вас явно задело моё утверждение. значит, я прав”.

today's trivialities
pretty much everybody realizes (or will recognize the saying, anyway) that selebrities are those people who are famous for being famous.
some people understand that to achieve notoriety, it is enough to look and speak the part.
even fewer people understand that the curious quality of “controversiality” is irreversible: once something is pronounced controversial it will, in time, become ever more controversial, since controversy breeds talk, and talk breeds controversy — talk is controversy. controversy is but the discoursive incarnation of entropy. entropy can only increase. for the controversial thing, the only way out of controversy (if being non-controversial is desired) is to cease being, or to be recast in another thing (or other things).
“to iterate is human; to recourse — divine”.
almost nobody seems to understand the immediate practical lesson of the above: silence is good. not caring is even better.
