The upshot of the OC/CC community is the straight language that most of us try to use (HankT notwithstanding). We don't need wordsmithing to get our point across.
This is a quest for truth indeed. While you and I might disagree on the interpretation/semantics of HankT's rather convoluted statement (which, I agree, is very misleading if taken for anything but a word game), I'm pretty sure that we can agree on the fact that people have the right to defend their lives and the lives of others, and that OC is a very good thing.
Thanks for the fun discussion, Bikenut!
