    The irony is palpable lol.

    It’s my fault for not understanding that using that term online is not going to be understood how I intended it, based on how it has been defined for me (Even when I showed the dictionary definition)

    Though it is even more funny that so many people cannot accept that a word has more than one term, and based on how I used it in context, it actually does mean how I intended it.

    In any case, I really don’t want to discuss the definition further. Hopefully people can understand what I meant in context, even if the definition they are familiar with, is different.

      I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn’t just a detail here, it’s inherent to what you’re saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.

        Do you mean liberal as in how I defined it in my post above? Or how others have meant it, as in Libertarian/Liberalism?
