Just to raise the most obvious possible objection to your phrasing: there was nothing to prevent you from making whatever metaphor you suggested Alicorn could have employed. It is generally poor manners to invoke uninvolved people as supporters of your arguments without their permission, and in this situation, if Alicorn were interested in becoming involved in this thread, she could have posted herself.
