When I use the word 'stupid' in this thread I am being emotional and I'm sorry. But there is a point (in frequency) at which I find the use of these phrases to be indicative of a certain ignorance. That's not to say that I think everyone who has used them at any time is stupid or ignorant. I respect you, shani, and I would never characterize directly anything you do or say as stupid. But at the same time, I find the outright rejection of my point view on this thread to be willfully stubborn. Disappointingly stubborn.
