Tom (who is a good guy, BTW) told you to go look up "pragmatism",
meaning "you're not being pragmatic". You responded with name calling.
You've got to give people the benefit of the doubt in a text-based
forum like this one.
Ummm...no! I use pragmatic in a pajoritive sense (ie, it brings about
short-term solutions that have disasterous long-term consequences).
Practical, principled...they're different.
You should maybe look up pragmatic in the dictionary... ;)

This is a riot! And a damn funny one too. :-D
Look up *Herd Behavior*.
I'll do it for you
Herd behavior describes how individuals in a group can act together
without planned direction. The term pertains to the behavior of
animals in herds, flocks, and schools, and to human conduct during
activities such as stock market bubbles and crashes, street
demonstrations, sporting events, episodes of mob violence and even
everyday decision making, judgement and opinion forming.

Very apropos ASC!
Careful what you say, my son. Tom S may turn you into a lifeless
corpse like he just threatened to do to me.
I think it is just horrifying the kinds of things which go on within
these boards.
All I wanted to do was wish him merry christmas with a card or
something nice and he went nuts.
