A Fudd By Any Other Name?

It seems my use of the term has been objected to over on Facebook. [More]

Fine. If you want to proudly call yourself a Fudd, that’s between you and you. That doesn’t mean you get to unilaterally redefine commonly-understood terms. No one here disparages those who are rights defenders first who also hunt or sport-shoot, because most of us would be disparaging ourselves. Come up with a term for “sportsmen” who throw rights under the bus and support gun-grabbers as long as their hobbies get preferential treatment, and then get widely-understood acceptance of your new term, and maybe people will start using it.

Meanwhile, Inigo would like a word with you.

"Fudd" is arguably disrespectful, since use of the naked patronymic is somewhat rude. Use their first names as well. "Quisling."
