Speculator/Gambler I don't care, both are fine, yes I buy options I also trade stocks, futures and currencies, all are speculation. When you buy a stock it's on speculation (gambling) that it will rise.

I'm not offended by either, but to think that traders like myself are the ones determining a majority of the prices for the OTM options is just wrong. JMO
