you could treat me with a little more respect if you realized that much of what I write is just intellectual exercise

That's a bit condescending, no? How do you know what I realize and what I don't?

I realize the difference between vandalism and terrorism. I realize that targeting violence against innocent unarmed citizens is not on the same plane as dumping tea into a harbor.

These are things you might try to realize if you want your exercises to be considered 'intellectual'.

It is great that you are willing to throw different ways at looking at things out for discussion. Unfortunately, the interests of effective communication are not well-served when the people having the conversation discover half way through that generally accepted definitions of common terms are not applicable to your comments, as has happened recently.
