(11,573 posts)so I don't have to make more than one post.
1.You disrupted a thread here to the point that a legitimate poster, .making a legitimate post, felt unwelcome in this group. You're not a host here, nor are you a gatekeeper. Just personally, I think that's sufficient grounds to ban you.
2. "Militantly anti-war" is neither an oxymoron nor is it used ironically. Someone who is "militantly anti-war" is committed to work with determination and with all the force of conscience against wholesale violence. Both Berrigan brothers were militantly anti-war. Neither advocated violence.
3. "Militant" has several meanings. You are attempting to force your preferred definition onto all other usages, which is both futile and foolish. It is.not a slur; it's a description of behavior. Note that when, say, Hitchens, is referred to as a militant atheist, it's a description of his tactics and behavior for advancing atheism. When he's advocated violence, he has been called, quite properly, a warmonger.
4, I know about you what you have posted yourself. My statesments are consistent with same.
5. Red and blue are primary corlors. Teal is not on the color wheel at all. It's either green-blue or blue-green, depending upon its formulation. Do you use it for your arcademc assignments? No? Think about why not.
