NO! I didn't attempt to make the distinction. I made it.
It's easy for me to do, but you can't deal with it. Blicero
is a fictional character, a demonic one. It's as simple as
that. All of P's best critics agree with this, but not you,
you call them names because you read into their comments
about a demonic fictional character some bias or prejudice
or xenophobia or homophobia. This is sad.
