I didn't say "everyone", I said "usually". Also, I said it was used to avoid discussing the argument, not that the arguments were valid.
I don't think the term exists "in abstract", it exists in common usage, and usually, I find it's used the way I described.
You're free to disagree, of course, but it's probably better if you can do that without misrepresenting what I actually said. And really, I wasn't intending to bash anyone.
- buboard 8y agoI think the sense in which you use it is fringe. the term is valid without political connotations. Also , the article was not about keeping up with the joneses, but about being perceived as doing so.
