overtize

The act of making something overt which desperately needs to be exposed, but which probably wouldn't be otherwise. Overtizing can be accomplished through the creative arts, such as literature, in which it is called "exposition", or even through the visual arts, where, for example, closet racists can be depicted as Nazis, shouting oppressive messages -- which they would probably never overtly do in real life, but instead actually do hold such agendas.

Though it had long been admitted by an honest few that the governor had close ties to the mob, it took an overtized image of him wearing a pin-stripe suit and brass knuckles to break the ice and motivate public honesty about the truth.

Overt and deliberate

The difference between what they were and are currently doing and anything they are usung to justify it.

Hym "Oh? Is you being vaguely aware of a thing I did that you don't like MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS and, therefore, justification for you to try and punish me in an overt and deliberate way? Well, somebody sounds like Hym now don't they? What's the specific act you that you're tolerating that justifies doing it? If there is a quid pro quo then what do I stop doing that would lead you to stop? Is it the writing? How many days after I stop righting do you stop doing what you're doing? 2? 5? 14? How many days of doing whatever it is you want do you stop doing the thing you are only doing to me? Past experiences would suggest that you don't care. You're committed completely to boxing me out and act like it isn't going to have an effect on the outcome of my life. So, no. You're not the arbiter of deservedness. I'm not doing anything to anyone and did choose to do anything to anyone there is nothing you could do to stop me. Did we get a count? How many of the shooters? Oh, wait! 40%!? Was THAT what the 40% meant!? That would be nuts! If 40% of the shooters reported something like this and they did what they did. That would be hilarious! Cus I'd be RIGHT AGAIN! Remember when I said there was a not gun-banny, not protect your kids hardery type of thing you might do I you wanted people to not murder your kids? Remember that? I mean..."
