I prefer to tell it like it is. And I don't nuance BS when I see it. I prefer the straight-forward, as well. Nor do I tolerate BS well. If you're so straight-forward, why not say "BS" when you mean "BS" rather than railing at "nuance," which is utterly neutral and harmless. Going after nuance is like going after bunnies.
