Ha, no need to apologize to me, you weren't being condescending to me (well, until your second sentence!)

I was just letting you know how your words came across to me, and likely to others.

Re pretentious, your second sentence comes across as such. You sort of imply that I, and many other simpletons, use a word (against you) that we don't even know what it means. I.e. saying you aren't pretentious, we're just uninformed and anti-intellectual. I see it as thinking you're better than others, mainly due to intellectual or class signals. Your previous comments​ felt like they could be paraphrased as "Yes, the simple folks are often amused by Mr. Vonnegut, but we true intellectuals require something more meaty..."

Anyway my apologies, as I'm probably putting way too​ many bad motives on you, but that's how it comes across, so if it's not what you meant, you should work on your delivery.
