> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > Yes, you simply happen to be supporting the right of people to use a loaded term, albeit not in the way that the popular media intends it. I pointed you to the post in which I said I did NOT support the term. You replied: > [@Scott Plaid](#): > > A hyperlink: [:rolleyes:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7100185&postcount=633) That post relates to my “tone”, at least as perceived by **MaxTheVool**. What has that do with YOUR post about the use of the term “War on Christmas”? ---

I don’t think I have to spell it out for you. ---

This issue seems to be causing a bit of confusion. **Bricker** has several times quite explicitly disavowed the term “War on Chistmas”, but given that it’s the thread title and Bricker remains one of the major actors in the thread, perhaps it would be better if this thread were shut. It’s Bricker’s thread, but perhaps he might ask for this now over-long and confusing thread to be shut and direct people to a new OP where he sets out the issue/s and what remain matters of contention, rather than the confections which seem unfortunately to distract us here. ---

I certainly support that. I’d ask that this thread be closed. ---
