Is this correct?

Hi,teachers I have a question.

A:We are not your servants!

B:Probably not, but not entirely different from it either. ( You are not my servants, but are very close to it.)

Could B above be a correct expression?

Hi Kook.

Your expression is correct

But note that, the answer is very offensive and humilating. The speaker B looks down on speaker A.

Hi, hrsanei. Do you still remember this thread?

I found a doubt in my own sentense now:

A:We are not your servants!

B:Probably not, but not entirely different from it either./ Probably not, but not entirely different from them either.


Do you think them is better or necessary to be placed there instead of it?

To be honest, I really don't think "either" belong to the sentence. It doesn't really add to the context, but rather an odd tone to it, at least to my ear anyway.

Hi.

The use of object pronoun is necessary for your sentence to be grammatically correct.

Since servants is plural, the corresponding pronoun should be plural too.
