*So, your point would be to object to me or Andy not catching it before? Before what? I did, within a couple of days of first signing up. I have only been "here" for what? Two weeks? It is a red-herring argument to try and shift the blame to others, somehow saying the responsibility for the prank was other than Richard's blame. Please stop doing that. A place this large, no one group of people can keep on top of every article. I had it on my list, along with the other pages I have already edited or created, and since I am already working 60-80 hours per week at what earns me money, this place has to take a back seat. Your other point, if I am focusing properly, is that I am somehow misusing the term "Conservative" and "Liberal", by using them in other than their orthodox, dictionary meaning? I agree. Guilty 100% of doing that. That is the dynamic nature of language. Get used to it. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 22:04, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

**Reading this article, we see [[User:Richard]] did not do his homework. He made a rather lame partisan attack on Republicans and conservatives, but for all the effort he put in trying to impugn modern Repubs & conservs with obsolete information, he really only embarassed himself as a classic "mindless partisan", i.e. he's a partisan and he doesn't even know what he's partisan about.[[User:RobS|RobS]] 22:16, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

:Since the second point you address is clearly mine, I am going to assume that this is in part directed at me. The first point you respond to is, for the record, not an argument I have ever made—I am not saying that—I wouldn’t even bother to say I’m not saying that except you call the second point “your other point” which suggests that you think the first point was something I also said (maybe you are using “other” in a manner I am not familiar with).
:Your response to my point also leaves something to be desired. Yes, the meaning of words changes – I understand, admit and accept that fact. But, this site is billed around the divide in the modern world between “liberals” and “conservatives”, this means that we – all users of this site – should be especially careful to use these terms in line with their modern meaning. Likewise this site is supposed to be encyclopedic and so users should use the modern meaning of words to make sure that the content is actually accessible. If you do intend to use words to mean anything other than their modern meaning, at the very least, I think you ought to provide a note so that your actual meaning is clear.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 09:05, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
