Oh god it's the person from the other thread. 1. Cambridge agrees with Oxford and me and the rest aren't credible sources. As Oxford and Cambridge say, reactionary is reacting to political change, not to exclusively left wing change. 2. I didn't call you names or say you were conceited. 3. More to the point: why are you responding on different threads? I clearly do not wish to communicate with you and the only reason I'm seeing this is because blocks don't work on mobile. Please stop.
