On occasion, MAF, folks will take from thread to thread longstanding arguments, terms of art, and references peculiar only to them and reference them in the course of a fresh thread. Some even bring to a thread perfectly private matters which no one reading the thread has any inkling of whatsoever…If I had the time, I'd start flagging you at each and every such dehumanizing post I read.

You should be embarrassed exposing our private matters. You’re as free to flag me as I am to ignore you. Free country. Great invention. Enjoy the Quarter.

PS: terms of art?

PS: terms of art?

Walk a mile in my shoes discoursing with the "A is A" objectivists and you'll see that words have special meanings for some folks and it pays to keep these meanings in mind if you don't wish to set them off or waste half a thread pulling out the dictionary and defining terms.

I don't know what you mean by your private affairs. As I mentioned, the use of dehumanizing terms for those souls we've had to "mist" of late is an understandable but regrettably altogether too common phenomenon.
