as I pointed out to someone who shall not be named (wsnbn) via PM, I used seditious in a broad figurative sense of 'given to causing tumult'; to wit: 1. Of a person or body of persons: Given to or guilty of sedition; in early use, ‘factious with tumult, turbulent’ (Johnson); now chiefly, engaged in promoting disaffection or inciting to revolt against constituted authority. 1596 Nashe Saffron Walden, Thirdly, he is verie seditious and mutinous in conversation, picking quarrells with everie man that will not magnifie and applaud him.
I stand by this after much soul-searching.
That's our tsuwm! Never writes anything he doesn't mean and always the right thing at that.
Brilliant idea, sir. I'll stand by your words.

"Sedition" means "inciting rebellion against the authority of a state" -- and none among us would speak with such authority, of course.
But, but, Keiva, Louis XVI said, "L'etat, c'est moi!"(I am the state) Does not TSUWM speak with equal authority?
