Admittedly, if you haven't read 1984 the Orwell reference probably went over your head. "Manichean" is a word you should just look up, as it is quite useful.

Thanks for pointing this out. I did go through high school, so I'm hip to your extremely erudite reference.

Really. I don't find much use for it. Maybe if I just spent more time virtuously casting my opponents as evil users of "Orwellian" tactics, I could also point out that _their_ worldview is manichean.

I guess I should have known you wouldn't have anything useful to say when you started off by comparing me to Hitler.
