Has no one ever heard the phrase be reasonable or be quiet?
I can only conclude that people posting that quote are trying to incite anger over reason. In which case there is already a ~european~ word for that -provocateur.

Perhaps you fancy yourself a Community Organizer?
Quoting french etymology doesn't add a single nuance to your rather ignorant comment. There is a very good reason the quote is used not a thing about it is to provoke anything but the truth but I am sorry that you just don't get it.
1.not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull.
2.not sharp, acute, or pointed; blunt in form.
3.(of a leaf, petal, etc.) rounded at the extremity.
4.indistinctly felt or perceived, as pain or sound. Origin:

It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
“Perhaps you fancy yourself a Community Organizer?”
What difference does it make??
I just had to say it. Can’t pass up a chance to provacatate
and provacatize this thread into provacatory.
