You disagreed with me. I made the statement "True tolerance tolerates intolerance" and then you were the one unable to tolerate my viewpoint and leave it unchallenged on the forum.
And now, you cite "different perspectives" and yet acknowledge you don't care about the dictionary definition.
No wonder there is a problem. If you change the meaning of a word, we are no longer speaking the same language. Words exist to translate one idea to another. Dictionaries give clarity and guidelines on how humans use that word. I can't help it if you're reinventing the word all by yourself in Boston. My language - English - has a meaning. I can't read your mind. If you want to be understood, use the commonly accepted meaning, or admit you're wrong.
As too the pot calling the kettle black, there are HUNDREDS of times on this forum alone, where I've admitted mistake, error and apologised unreservedly. The last time to Grojlach re. Metallica. Being wrong is no big deal to me Chewbacca, yet here you are, faced with a dictionary definition and logic that proves you're wrong, and you can't do it, holding up a "different perspectives" line....
sheesh.
