Misuse of the word "cohort", reflecting your appalling
ignorance.


Cohort: n. 2. A band or group 3. A companion or follower


Not to pick nits, but my Websters Collegiate Dictionary (fifth
edition) defines Cohort:

Cohort: , n [L, cohors, prop, an enclosure] 1. In the Roman
Army, one of ten divisions of a legion. 2. A company or
band, esp., of Warriors.

Well we seem to do a lot of fighting on this board and if two
people are fighting for the same cause cannot they be considered
as band of warriors, so the word Cohort in this sense might
be accurate.

The Independent



When two people spout virtually the same nonsense or end up echoing one
another's arguments in close succession on the internet, they can easily be
said to be members of a cohort, and when others join in with similar
philosophies but direct their responses to unrelated elements of the thread,
they can said to be in a cohort as well. That cohort will, of necessity, be
a different one, but one person can be a member of more than one, just as I
may be a member of the opera orchestra and a member of a rock band. In this
case, there are a number of cohorts in which your views give you membership
participating in this thread.
Perhaps
you'd care to share? Otherwise, I'll be forced to disregard everything

you
write, as meaningless drivel coming out of a well of ignorance.


So: you're happy to indicate that you are a raging,
dogmatic leftist, too.


I'm happy that your failure to supply credentials indicated a lack of same
which might give you any credibility, so that I can abandon this thread to
you, secure in the knowledge that you have nothing of value to say.
