He’s correct about the Queen Gertrude quote though. The context is wrong as far as Shakespeare wrote it.

She says ironically that the women in the "play within the play" is protesting her love too vehemently to be believed. That's the context I used it in. He's stating is his point far too vehemently to be believed. It's all about the effect. Trolling is the modern parlance.

Yes. And that’s the modern context which misinterprets the word “protest” as used in Shakespearean times.

Well well. The level of hysteria and vitriol towards one another on here is off the scale. Fighting like the proverbial ferrets in a sack. How very unbecoming. It’s only a game of football. This time next year, like us, you might be looking at promotion again. Such are the vagaries of football. In the meantime stop squabbling as you support the same club and have a common purpose. You can at least unite , as you normally do, behind calling me a six fingered sister shagger. Glad to have brought you back together.

Personally, your tractor running over your legs would be sufficient for me Jethro.

Either context works which is why it's so brilliant: https://www.shakespeareswords.com/Public/Glossary.aspx

Not at the time of writing though ( this is better than insulting each other) However, in my Mantuan schoolmaster guise, there is no melancholy in his posts for the fool gydgeon comment.
