21. And when we use the term "pro-nuke"...

it sounds a bit like like "pro-abortionist"

Labeling other people sucks, no matter whether you feel justified or not. I get called a "Malthusian" all the time - it's meant to sound like "Misanthropic killer of helpless babies and old people". I always respond by ignoring the label and addressing the substance of the remark with civility, humour and good grammar.
That way if anyone goes off on a tirade, they take the hit for being a jerk, not me. And it's only a tiny bit passive-aggressive. :evilgrin:
