[QUOTE="payn, post: 8653102, member: 90374"] Sorry, I did realize my example for examples sake probably wasn't jargony enough. I do think folks should use their jargon mindfully. Saying, "oh it's so meta" doesnt really tell us how you are using the term. Saying, "oh thats so meta because you used fire on a troll you never encountered before" tells me a lot more about how you define the term and want to use it. Going forward I can challenge that definition to make sure the person really means it. If they do, then I have to decide if I am going to suspend my definition for conversation sake, or politely exit the exchange. What is common is that two folks disagree and can not suspend or reach the disengage mode. This is usually after about 8 pages and the conversation has run its course. It's also common for these folks to reignite that song and dance repeatedly. Likely, why so many folks are down on jargon entirely. I also recognize this happening and use the disengage method to side step this repetitious and exhausting process. [/QUOTE]
