Anything else?

The definition of dictator (maybe expanded depending on your dictionary you use...mine places an emphasis on a lack of hereditary secession being a trait of a dictatorship) actually omits those.

So if they aren't dictators, what are they?

Don't tell me you're one of those people who just interchanges words because some thesaurus states they're related. That bullshit ended in grade school.

I interchange words that are defined interchangeably. Also, proper use of language never gets stale.

But keep telling yourself that the shit you are wallowing in is wisdom. Keep that self satisfied grin firmly affixed, you weasel.

You can serve as an example of the dangers of prideful ignorance for future generations.

So you're a fucking retard who uses words without actually knowing their definition. Your language has multiple words for the same general idea because they describe a similar yet definitively different aspect of the same idea.

Don't whine when you're banned as a sock puppet.

Still flinging away. They mean the same thing. They are synonyms.

The problem here is not semantic. It is your refusal to admit that you are wrong even on something as small as the definition of a word.

Sorry but it strikes me as egotistical and foolish.

Despots usually tend to be more ruthless (aka Pol Pot who wiped out 25% of his people) and the word doesn't have the same constraints...dictators, the definition, tend to gain their power through use of force than from having it given to them.

Bass, you should try using different replies the next time you make a sock puppet.
