I understand the emotional desire to deny your "enemy" any trait you consider "good", but I do not understand giving in to the emotional desire, unless you do not understand the English language. I have sympathy for people too ignorant to know the definitions of words, but those who know them and choose to pretend they don't apply? Hard to have much sympathy for that kind of fantasy- at least as it intersects reality.
