Maybe s/he thought it's always supposed to be negative. It's not, of course: scientist, psychologist, anthropologist, and so on. Context determines meaning, and so context determines which -ist (or -ism) you're dealing with.Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-81305855672388954742008-09-13T08:17:00.000-07:002008-09-13T08:17:00.000-07:00Chuckling at (with) Peter.

Had to come out of the woodwork to give you a little love. Slam dunk!<BR/><BR/>But the title of your post may need a bit of parsing, as the various "-ist" terms and the use of passive voice did in the original question. <BR/><BR/>If "A Good Question" means "a tendentious, hostile, loaded, and ultimately rhetorical question," I'm with you. <BR/><BR/>If "Deserves" means "needs (in the same way that a zit needs to be squeezed until pus splatters the mirror)," I'm with you again. <BR/><BR/>And if "An Answer" means "complete evisceration and discrediting during which I run laps around the withered nut that inhabits your cranium"...well, then, I think you nailed the title. Any less doesn't quite sum it up.Perfesser Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121044187510013809noreply@blogger.com
