Once you started quoting from dictionaries to make your point, you lost me in a sea of pointless pedanticism.
I can see where you are coming from, but I think you're over simplifying things.
The difference between you and I seems to be that I can admit your argument has some merits and I respect what you say. You on the other hand "skirt the issue" (to quote yourself) and just insult other members of this board.
As I said in another thread, I don't know why it does, but every time irrational Bush-lackeys lash out I still honestly am left surprised.
