Here, I'll say it again:

"Awareness of and an unflagging practice of "Safety" in the shop is
unarguably the single most valuable component of a lasting enjoyment
of same. However, too often in the current world of print and bits and
bytes, playing the "safety" card has become a mixture of the tone of
political correctness, a whiff of Wikipedia wisdom, and a nagging fear
of being held accountable, presented in toto with a smug assertiveness
that presupposes the purveyor's superior ken, but, in actuality is
little more than ignorance of underlying issues swept under the shop
mat."

As Doug and krw indicated, the commentard fits the above to a "T".

Thank you Swingman! But "ken"? I need a dictionary to read your posts!
But hey, you tried to put one past me with "commentard" : ) But like
Gramps says, I grok'ed it!
So much ww-lingo to learn!
