> It is a word. Context matters. Context in this case would suggest there was nothing to worry about.

Wait. A plane is an appropriate context for the word "terrorist" ?

Interesting.




Yes. Words won't hurt you. When they can use words to bring down an aircraft then I care, but until that occurs then, they're just words.

Context matters. A sentence matters more than a word. A group of sentences matters more than just one. A conversation matters more than just a few sentences.

Quit acting irrationally. Think things through.
