That is quite true. In fact, I don't see that very often on NSG, so including it in the glossary wouldn't be a good idea due to its overall lack of use.

Funny.

However, your very first definition is off-base, at least with respect to myself and probably others. I don't consider myself "centrist" by any stretch of the imagination. I'm definitely a rightist. And that makes your "rightist" definition inaccurate too, since I can't be to the right of myself (regardeless of what "wrongists" may say to the contrary :p )

The difference between we on the right and a whole lot of leftists is, we admit we're on the right, while they pretend they define the center. ;)

Satire: Trolling by you or one of your Centrist friends.

Justifiable Outrage: Trolling by you or one of your Centrist friends.

Rant: Usually seen in the form, "I know some of you will think this is a rant, but ...". A folk charm to ward off mods who might otherwise accuse posters of Trolling.
(It is believed that the attempt at balance, despite justified-passion, in the phrase freezes the banhammer in mid-strike. See also Justifiable Outrage.)

Balance: Praising someone who basically agrees with you or your Centrist friends, but uses different sources. Typical phrase: "my honoured/worthy opponent justly argues that ..., but ...".

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan
