It's been a while since you did any yapping about your one-time favorite
bugbear, "elitism". Google informs me you've yapped about "elitism" or
"elitists" more than 30 times. Apparently you've chewed all the flavor out
of this bone, and now you've buried it somewhere and forgotten it.
But that's not the end of your "elitism" fixation. I've discovered in
looking through those 30+ posts that elitism is yet another Normal word you
don't understand. From the way you [mis]use it, I've deduced that to you,
the term means "I can't afford it" or "I don't appreciate it". That's
different from the Normal meaning, which connotes the *intention* to make
something unavailable to the masses. You, in your customary self-absorbed
idiom, conflate the intentions of Normals with your parochial reactions.
Bad dog! <whap whap whap> Go to your hut!
