If there is in fact an "in-group" on this list, I can tell you that I 
ain't a part of it.  I'm just not much of an in-group kinda girl.  Yet, 
you have managed to tick me off too, right from your first post on this 
subject.  Therefore, you can rethink your contention that this is an 
in-group vendetta to keep out the unwashed masses.  Since your first 
words on this subject you have been belligerent and rude.  Your argument 
about the use of the word "redaction" was completely lost in your tone 
all along.  You were dictating in a condescending and purile manner, not 
offering arguments in a constructive way.  I don't give a flying fig 
newton whether your point was absolutely brilliant or awful.  Couched in 
your insulting tone, I didn't even see fit to consider it.  I mentally 
filed it in the "troll looking for an argument" catagory and went on to 
more important things.

I've kept out of this so far because I hate these kinds of arguments.  I 
generally hope they go away on their own.  But, it is apparant that you 
are intent on keeping it alive and entrenching yourself more deeply.  I 
don't see you as being flamed, but rather you are the flamer.  You may 
be entirely correct that we as a community use the word redaction 
incorrectly.  However, coming in on a fiery steed wielding an avenging 
sword to force us to amend our ways and advance our little minds isn't 
going to win many people over to your side of the fence.  On the 
contrary, it's likely to make many of us more stubborn about using it.  
And it certainly isn't going to win you many friends.
