This all sounds much more ideological to me than the comment to which you are objecting.
- JohnHaugeland 13y agoMy interpretation of what he meant was "when the original post under discussion used the phrase Big Foo, the intent was to villianize the topic under discussion by the use of a recognized catch phrase for abusive and villainous scheming, and that moving the phrasing to the more neutral mass produced helped establish an honest baseline for discussion."
- javert 13y agoActually, it wasn't particularly. It was intentionally written in very plain, common English, in a way that refers to concrete things, not big ideological abstractions.
