I said it in order to defend Mako from the accusations which seemed to be thrown at him simply because he's not paying romantic attention to Korra. I wanted to defuse the argument using evidence before a Mako-fanboy came along and reacted violently to what was being said about him seemingly as an insult, as I'm not too attached to the character and can therefore keep a level head while combatting the points which might have caused genuine belief in what on the surface appears to be an insult (and which in any case is an inaccuracy). I tend to do this at any time when I see an argument getting out of hand (or which could easily get out of hand in the future), when I have what I consider a reasonable knowledge of the given subject, as it always seemed preferrable to me that any debates that take place become a constructive search for ultimate truth rather than an example of verbal fisticuffs. I'm sorry if I came across as oppressive of the personal opinions of others, as giving myself an air of moral superiority, or as just a jerk in the process; I do try to be as far away as possible from all of those things while still being what I consider a good human being.
