Or maybe your comment was just an instance not very useful (and downright wrong) nitpicking.

Arguing that a large-scale, organized boycott does not constitute "coercion or compulsion" or that anything that does not involve physical violence should not be called a "fight" is just inane.

Why is that "insane"? Do you believe I'm mentally ill?

How is it "nitpicking" to talk about whether something uses violence or not?

I did not write "insane". I wrote "inane", which was not a typo.

It's nitpicking to argue about the definition of words, especially when the usage you're criticizing is a widely accepted figurative use.
