Jurgen hasn't lowered the hammer of oppression that you claim he has. He hasn't demanded that others agree with him - but you, ironically, have. Indeed, the sum total of your contribution to this thread has been that Jurgen (and others) who use the common definition of "fantasy", rather than your own, personal, definition, are not only wrong, but somehow forcing you to think differently (which is, of course, absurd). And that's the problem. Jurgen isn't talking aboiut your fantasy, he's talking about (speaking of dictionaries) the commonly acccepted definition of the word as it appears in the dictionary - the fantasy. As he says, you're certainly free to define the word however you like, but to claim that anybody who uses the dictionary definition rather than your own, personal, definition is trying to oppress your freedom of thought is rediculous. Respecting another's opinion does not mean agreeing with it, which is what you seem to be saying. I (and I suspect Jurgen) respect that you have a right to your opinion, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with or subscribe to it, nor does it prohibit me from having my own opinion, as you've suggested.</blockquote>
