The point of my response was that the two words mean rather different things, that they are not synonyms; ergo, his need to clarify what he is asking. In some cases it's safe to assume the person's meaning, but with a potential boobytrap like supporting or condoning "horrors," I'm not going to assume anything nor step blissfully onto land mines.
