Wow, where did all that come from? That exploded quickly.

@Cymbal: Cymbal expressed his opinion as an opinion, and was entirely right and just in doing so. It would have been a lot more controversial if he had expressed it as fact, without the "in my opinion" attached. I value those who recognize the difference between their subjective opinions and objective fact.

@Nooth: Definitions are subjective. If they weren't, a homosexual would not be offended at being referred to as a "faggot"--he would be confused as to why you were referring him as a bundle of twigs or a cigarette butt. It's true that there's a general consensus in effect, and I recognize that my definition does not agree with this general consensus. I still believe it makes more sense than the popular one, and I am entitled to that opinion. You are also entitled to disagree with it. But both of ours are just that: opinions.
