[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4294177, member: 2011"] I guess you missed that my post was attempting to be facetious and you took it literally. You appeared to be ranting for the sake of ranting. There is no elitism from using that word, the elitism you are experiencing is self imposed. The reason for using that word is that the word "realism" is not accurate and opens the door for invalid strawman counterarguments. So in retrospect, the anti-4E verisimilitude crowd is damned if they do (use the word realism incorrectly) and damned if they don't (use the word verisimilitude instead and be denounced for being elitist). In other words, your rant was dumb and merely another "anti-other side" white noise. I mean, come on. They are elitist for using the word verisimilitude? You are bothered by the "motive behind that word"? :lol: [/QUOTE]
