Not by me though. I appreciate when people have an insight or some background knowledge of the terms they are actually using. And it's of course ridiculous by some ( I just read a post stating this) to interpret this as a 'showing up' or trying to be knowledge-wise upscale etc. Should we all be just dumb and stupid, in order to not show off? We would always be just on the surface of things. Instead, when using terms, one could as well try to be a little bit more knowledgeable about the history and /or philosophic context. Why don't people stay out of a discussion rather than using this 'We are all the same and you are just trying to show off' logic which is childish and just shows an inferiority complex.

I didn't know, and its good to be clear about it.
