Double negatives are a no no.

You shouldn't not use them. I don't think that nothing's not better than a triple negative though. My dad used to tell me that "two wrongs don't make a right," but he also used to frequently say, "Three's a charm." I don't think I misunderstand now what you weren't hinting at, dad.

I didn't not get nothing before, but now it isn't not all nothing but a garbled mess that I can't understand without going over it thrice or twice. It not only isn't now not completely clear so it doesn't require slow reading with care, but I'm not uninspired to take it to the next level. That is to say, I don't not know nothing about no words or rules or laws or religious regulations neither, nor can I not dishonestly say that I don't not care about your contradictory insistence on avoiding unclarity even when you'll be misunderstood no matter what you say, but one thing isn't not definitely the opposite of unsure, and that's that I share your pointless inclination to try to rephrase words to make age-old points that are overlooked more than you (or I) find sensible.

Thanks to you, I'm inclined to say and think things like: kill the killers, fuck the fuckers, steal from the thieves, love the lovers, feel the feelers, rock the rockers, keep the keepers, take the takers, make the makers, bring the bringers, see the seers, listen to the listeners, give "mercy to the merciful," etc. Are those proverbs of dignity, or just BS?

Sadly, I can't say I don't not know.
