... among friends, Mark. I didn't see any "attack" on anyone outside the hobby.

As for your main point:

>> That we should not attack those outside our hobby for using
>> incorrect terms when we ourselves are not using them correctly!

I agree that we should not "attack" anyone over their use of terms. On the other hand, if by this you mean everyone in our hobby has to agree on terms before we try to educate others outside the hobby, we'll be waiting forever.

I have made the practical point about as well as I can and will leave it at that.
