See, actually what you don't get is that WE understand what she meant when she posted it. So, it is relevant to the discussion at hand. But, this is a good example of privilege. You were so sure that you had a better understanding of the definition of a word (Wow!)...that apparently, it never occurred to you that the poster was expressing a feeling that could extend beyond the definitions of moderate and progressives.

The others on the board, picked up on the feeling. Her King quote is perfect for the group. Actually, your post is perfect for the group, also. Because it is a perfect example of the problem. With all the angst going on, on DU, you took the time to step into the AA group to give one of our posters a lesson in grammar...or so you thought.
