Fair enough, Peter. But may I ask a question - are the descriptive terms 'aristocrat', 'bourgeois' and 'peasant' comprehensive, ie do we all have to fit into one or other of them? Or do some of us exist outside those terms? In which case, which other description would apply to us, and would it be just as pejorative? (I think I am justified in saying that 'bourgeois' and 'peasant' are not exactly complimentary) If your description for someone like me (not wealthy, BTW) or yourself is not pejorative, then why isn't it? Are we AR-lovers and Tarboard users a much nicer sort of person?
