Since I'm at it...and 'cause I'm not near as nice as jeanne...

While it is about consistency, it's also about having a modicum of respect for another's feelings. That's obviously above the level at which some useless beings operate.

Oh, and here's a thought. If there are those people who have ever been inconsistent in any of the ways mentioned, and have done so intentionally because of their inability to nut up and deal with the matter in a mature and direct way, and furthermore, intend to be inconsistent in the future due to such feebleness, then how about they stop using the term "Dominant". Seriously.
