"Well, I'm sorry to be confrontational, but you are absolutely and unconditionally wrong about that."

I assume you, dsc, mean you, dsc, are not a hypocrite. In that case, I'm sorry, I was merely continuing your abstract hypothetical and had no intention of calling you personally a hypocrite.

However, if you didn't mean it that way, if you meant instead to provide the view that I am simply incorrect--great argument. Way to demolish the definition I posted from Merriam-Webster with a quick "You're wrong." Do I just respond "Nuh-uh!" or is "Am Not!" better? Either would be an appropriate response, I think, but I'll defer to such a masterly debater, and learned authority on the English language as it pertains to the word "hypocrite."

"Way to demolish the definition"

It wasn't intended to demolish. It was intended only to indicate that I disagree and stand ready to discuss it. It was analogous to pushing the first pawn in a game of chess.
