   I don’t know who needs to hear this but you’re a person, not a user.

     @moufle Thank you, I hadn’t realised that in my four decades of experience as a programmer.

     @aral I'm a person (always) AND a user (sometimes). Words do have a meaning.

     and, users are people.

     You sound upset by people being called 'users'. Why?
     Maybe I am just used to English evolving continuously. You can't hang on to particular words too closely. There are what, 3billion? English users.
     This makes it rich.

     Your sarcasm contradicts the original post.
     Please clarify your position.

     @aral that is exactly what we need so many more to understand, while moving forward to modern sustainable and healthy platforms. So glad I am not the only one who doesn't want to be called and targeted as such to make us addicted. - Change always starts with words.

     @carcharadon Let’s make sure we lay the blame squarely where it belongs, though: always with the abusers, never with the abused; always with the perpetrators of the crime, never with the victims.

     Everybody needs to hear it Aral ... they all fkn think they know it ... but they don't ... they love being used(and abused) ... masochism is intrinsic in the 'consumer' who needs to use things ... I'm a person who needs to use drugs sometimes and I'll cop the word for that ... but not as a human wanting to make conversations with other humans right here ... who do the fkn media owners think they are? ... we were here before them ... cheers
