What have I ever said or done that led you to mistakenly
assume that I don't care about dictionary definitions


Because you eschewed the dictionary definition of "nuance" for one, defiantly. That was a clear signal. There were a couple of other words, which I no longer remember. That was a while ago. I think "reality" may have been one of them. Anyway, I concluded that, to you, words mean whatever you say they mean. Feel free, as I'm sure you do, to continue to use "reality" to mean "your world view." It may complicate discussions of the Iraq war of "realist," meaning caution and skepticism about utopian foreign adventurism, but I'll cope.

You need to stop your childish personal attacks

I'm not attacking you, childishly or otherwise. We do process things differently, for sure. I'm used to environments where people discuss differences openly and constructively without taking offense. I realize that everyone is not so acclimated. I understand how you may feel attacked when exposed to that format, but that's not my intent. Please consider interpreting what I say according to the spirit in which I say it.
