You may be a more or less harmless criminal without having qualms.

It is a tort to call someone criminal who has not been convicted of a
crime in a court of law.

Sorry, I did not personally address this play with metaphors.


I repeatedly pointed to several cases where the attribution of full
civil right to reals results in nonsense.

It appears that granting EB full civil rights produces even greater

Virgil is a famous name of a Roman writer.
Our Virgil seems to be impertinent as soon as he feels unable to find
compelling factual arguments. I found the term civil rights used by
Dedekind, Fraenkel, and Perron. Perhaps it was used by Cantor, too.
