Ah, I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking more along the name calling, but not the taking issue. Thanks for the clarification.

Hmm.

I'm glad to see this topic. saying, "What a UAV!" comes across, to me, as skirting around the rules, as others have pointed out.

I get a little frustrated when I read someone's vent about whatever and I can't freely say, "What a jerk!" I have to come up with somehting more constructive, like, "Well that was rude."

Sometimes calling a duck a duck is much more satisfying and gets the point across more clearly than addressing a behavior.

Also, I'm an adult. Yeah, I should act like one, but for crying out loud, leave me alone and let me vent with whatever non-swear words I want to use.

JMO, of course.
