Lol, ok. But there's still context being ignored. He's asking about politicians, businessmen, etc. We can define what is important differently - scientific discovery, political influence, social change, etc. - but it's clear the OP was talking about cultural relevance. Astner's probably right that riv should have used "influential" instead. But in saying that, he's showing us that he knows what Riv intended, and is deliberately ignoring it for the sake of a smug semantically correct but contextually worthless answer.Again, no one's stopping you guys from being pedants. But it's contributing very little, and substituting a potential conversation on worldwide influence for "Haha, me."

Thank you for this.
I get tired of trying to start conversations just to get caught up in this grade school nonsense.
Think it might be time to take a break from this site. My temper's a bit short lately.
You're not going to find too much else here most of the time. I've taken long breaks from KMC and always felt good about it. There's a ton I've enjoyed on the site through the years, but the fact that I continually allow myself to get dragged into GDF/OTF/Religion idiocy mars some of it, at least in recent years. Now, that's on me. Despite my best intentions, and the fact that I enjoy it sometimes (even the more stupid stuff), I have no one else to blame. But time off is never a bad idea, especially if this sort of nonsense is getting to you.
Originally posted by riv6672Ignore the nonsense. I like your threads. I've been here over 9 yrs and I've never had to take a break cuz I just don't get involved with what doesn't interest me or wastes energy. There's enough of that IRL.
