Gee, Gaspode; you seem to think the OP here isn’t a sock puppet.

Um, is this some sort of insult directed at me?

It’s an observation.

I’d understand if it is, but I’m new here,

Dubious.

and it’s sort of vague (to me, at least).

Can’t be “sort of vague” if you don’t understand it. Methinks you just gave yourself away again.

I really just sort of would like it if someone would explain what it means.

Means you ain’t new here.

Thanks again.

I forgot to DNFTT.

Thanks for your answer tom. I think I understand the issue better now.

Hey Monty, what does DNFTT mean?

Do Not Feed The Troll.

Thanks, Monty. No-one ever explains these things to me… I didn’t even know what a troll was for the longest time.

Troll “hunting” or “outing” is not allowed here.

This hijack is distracting and unnecessary. Thanks for keeping further discussion of your suspicions out of this thread.

Aren’t some groups of people taller or shorter, on average, than others? Would anyone object to that or is the objection just that those groups be called “races”?

Just as a sidebar reference, Uncle Cecil touched on this issue in this column.

Me, I take the position that “races” is a misnomer; the only race we all share is the human race.
