I haven't argued against the use of the word. I haven't done so in generic 
style, and I haven't argued against generic style use of the word, whatever it 
is you're trying to say. And I see that you're out trolling again, Steve Holden, 
implying all sorts of things that are untrue, as is evidently still your style.

For yet another example, here you are implying that I'm not sticking to facts, 
which, again, is untrue, a technique that you should be ashamed of, Steve Holden.

And since you're now injecting some Steve Holden'sk noise into this debate, 
chances are that in your points- and win/lose fixation you think I have scored a 
point immediately upthread, something which you think needs drowning in noise.
