He wasn't trying to shove anyone around. He pointed out a corrective bit a of trivia, and got understandably irritated when it was not only ignored but argued against incorrectly. And then came the retarded dictionary "definition", that certainly had to be debated for its lack of actualy sustaining a definition. Its just a debate that's continuing because counterpoints keep coming. He's not necissarily trying to shove it down yours or anyone else's throat. Just pointed out the usage was incorrect. The way a lot of people like to point out that the "common" usage of OTAKU is incorrect. We accept this, shrug, and move on.
The fact remains, anime is a term that originated in Japan to refer to animation. Nothing less distinctive than that. Animation. Any animation. All animation.
You can argue that well the word is japanese in origin, and since the japanese apparently have no word to make a distinction towards their own style of animation, and we have our own term for animation (cartoons), I'll use their word for animation to refer to specifically their animation.
Which is apparently exactly the same thing that happened with the word katana.
Not a big deal. The only reason this debate got so heated is you found it prudent to vigilantly defend an arguably incomplete (if not incompitent) "definition".
