@ Mafoo: Without conceding anything, particularly in regard to your view of what is or isn't socialistic or communistic etc., I believe that the matter is not so easily resolved that I want to remain in this cesspool of a thread and discuss it. I had wanted to see if it was something that could be resolved within a few relatively brief exchanges and it apparently is not.

Sorry if my withdrawal disappoints you. (I reserve the right to change my mind but I doubt I will in this thread, or at this time.)
What? I didn't even know you were “in” this thread. the only post I saw was questioning Wikipedia's definition (or our I applied it).

You have made no comments about the subject.

Ahem.  http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1925748  Discussing the proper definition would (by definition ) involve "what is or isn't socialistic/communistic", I would think. 

The only point of your post was to question if I applied the correct logic to a definition, and another posters objection to it. It had nothing to do with the post, or socialism for that matter. It had as much to do with cars as it did the topic of this discussion.

You don't think whether you are using the words correctly is relevant to the discussion?  I disagree.  Suppose you are using them incorrectly; this will create huge problems for the discussion. 

My comments were relevant to the subject in that they were on the topic of whether the relationship between certain subjects was understood. 

Still, perhaps it could be argued that I was not "in the discussion" as much as "dipping my toes into the discussion" and, upon feeling the water in the pool, changing my mind about jumping in.  I'm not sure where our current meta-discussion (if that's the term, or even A term) fits into the analogy.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
