I hear what you're saying; different words do have different meanings. If you opposed the substance and context of my statements, that'd be one thing and we could definitely have a spirited debate. However, here, the problem is that we appear to agree on the substance (for the most part anyway) as to why NH makes for a bad relationship. In my case, I don't particularly care about the diction in light of the agreement on the actual substance. So if I see an objection to my language, I don't mind pacifying it. Thus, if I called NH abusive, said everything I've already said word for word and you objected to my use of the word abusive, it wouldn't bother me to use the different word you're recommending. Just as I don't mind doing so here. Whatever will diffuse the minutia fueling the conflict. Everything you've pointed out in regards to the word toxic is not what I meant with my posts.
As to analyzer, I engage her for fun and amusement. I don't expect to change her mind on well . . . anything. Now if we get before a crowd of people I'm actually interested in persuading (i.e. a crowd that has not made up their mind on the substance of my points), I'll be a lot more mindful of my word choices and rely a lot more on the tactics I employ in the real world.
Actually, it is not you I have a problem with nor is it with word play. It also wouldn't be a problem if....well...
In the past page, I made one post about how SS is toxic and NH is unhealthy and apparently this meant the same thing to some people and some even got upset by saying "NH isn't toxic" which I never said.
Come to think of it, this is my fault. I actually took your post wrong and tried to rewrite it in a certain way so it wasn't so aggressive, but I failed...and I am sorry.
I just want to make it clear on some of my word play so people don't mistake one for the other.
When I say "NH is unhealthy" I don't mean that "Naruto is abusive to Hinata and hates her and purposely treats her bad." That is SS.
NH is just unhealthy in that the relationship is not really a "relationship." Hard to explain...It;s just Naruto doesn't show anything towards Hinata that makes her seem like someone special to him. She is just there. Yet, mention Sasuke or Sakura around him and the dude won't shut up about them That just shows how Naruto is and what he thinks and who is special to him. Especially when he acts like his old self around Sasuke and Sakura and yet acts moody around Hinata.
If Naruto is not happy with Hinata, what is stopping him from divorcing her or cheating on her? Absolutely nothing save for his own morals and that is a sad sad thing.
So sorry for the misunderstanding. That's my bad and I am happy to admit that
