I was thinking about your response to a post I made recently.
Why exactly do you "despise" people who use the term "sheeple"?

Probably Woofgang dislikes the word because it is offensive and insulting.

Ok, my understanding of the term is this: it refers to people who follow societal 'norms' like sheep, never questioning anything and simply giving in to conformity. If I've taken it out of context and it specifically means something else please let me know. If however I've got it right then perhaps anyone who finds it offensive or "despises" people who use the term have a chip on their shoulder.
Looks like I was right, this is from Wikipedia:
"Sheeple (a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a term in which people are likened to sheep, a herd animal. The term is used to describe those who voluntarily acquiesce to a suggestion without critical analysis or research. They undermine their own individuality and may willingly give up their rights".
Perhaps Mr Woof "despises" people who use the term because he is resentful of their free spiritedness. Until he actually answers my question, I can only speculate.
