I acknowledge that people really do feel alot of ways about alot of things (and I mean here, explicitly aside from any facts or truth-apt propositions supporting those feelings) and that this is important. I acknowledge that people really are different and that this is important. I acknowledge that we live in societies which do not agree and that this is important. I acknowledge that there are facts of matters and that these are important.
This is how I use these terms, I'm not totally wedded to it. I can use any set of words and even non-words to describe the content.
