Xist means something like 'influenced by or attentive to the quality X'. I meant it in the sense that you're influenced negatively by the fact of someone's being British, racist, sexist and so on, which I'd think was easy enough to figure out from context.

Your comment on 'saves'/qualifiers is utterly shortsighted. Saying a qualifier and 'save' are the same thing is like saying the statement 'X - 2 > 0 for all numbers greater than 2' is weak because I 'saved' it by limiting the possible Xs to >2. If you can't see why that's a dim thing to say, you need your retinas reattached.

I've never said anything about how many poems I have or haven't read or commented on. Please stop making silly assumptions.

PS-I'm married to a woman. And 'lololol' doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks,
