 Re: offend & abuse
Hi Joe!
I'm still hanging around, though I usually drop by once a day only.
An Holocaust revisionist is a "bad guy" indeed. The term "revisionist" can be used in several contexts, but in France for example the word is so much "tainted" that it is never used except for the aforementioned meaning. The verb "collaborer" is another example -- it is still used in French, but one must be very careful b/c it very often conjures up collective memories from the German occupation in WWII, when some Frenchmen actually helped the German (they "collaborated"). A most shameful part of our History...
Back to revisionist, I don't know of the other non-politics related meanings.
Happy New Year Joe!
