<I may also be right, and it sounds from your post that I am.>

Okay... Right about what, pray tell? If you'd like, go ahead and explain YOUR moniker if you wish - and so far you haven't - at least to me, but it implies that your are someone who is 20 or more years out of date (possibly over 50, maybe 60). I might be wrong or right, but at least you know what I infer and I made a little quip referring to typewriters tangentially ("extreme right margin" - a typing term) almost winkingly.

A cosmicforce is not a recognizable entity of any kind, and therefore is frequently a lightning rod for some people who think it implies something it almost certainly doesn't in the 3D person.

The words "dramatic recreation" were quoted, not to attribute it to you (only one usage of quote marks) but to isolate the words for ironic impact. That was clear from context (since my reply was both ironic and satirical) and is clearly supported by your factual claim that you didn't say it. Check any manual for writing style. See reference below.

I didn't want to talk about on-line nicknames or grammar tonight Selectric, but MM's movie, and its relevance to 21st century geopolitics. When you have seen it, please join in. Until then... Good night and farewell.
