I think it used to mean kind/benevolent until Voltaire wrote a book about a character named Candide. After that, candide refered to the character's attitude in debates. blah, blah, blah... stfu flibul!

You'll get no reasons from me, though any guesses you have would probably be something to amuse us all with. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
