Why did he stop short and not call you a Darwinist gay nazi? At least he would have been assured of being one third correct.

Nope, if he had done that (and he still might) then all three terms would be wrong. There are no "Darwinists." That is a totally made-up word to suggest that evolution is a cult about the person of Darwin.

Then I suppose neo-Darwinist is the same. I guess we need to stop the presses and have all dictionaries corrected.

Dar·win·ism   Pronunciation Key  (dar -nzm)
n.
A theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory.

Darwin·ist n.
Darwin·istic adj.

Ne·o-Dar·win·ism   Pronunciation Key  (n -da -nzm)
n.

Darwinism as modified by the findings of modern genetics.

Neo-Dar·wini·an (-darw n-n) adj.
Neo-Darwin·ist n.

Anyway, I understand your aversion to being called a Darwinist.
