You might also give yours...

But my point was, there's different levels that are "catastrophic", depending on your definition of catastrophe. There is no one answer to the question.

Let's start with Knufen's definition.

Knufen minimized diafygi's position (acting extreme, paranoid alarmist). So now I want to know what Knufen considers worth his/her concern.

A quick review shows that you were the first one to use the word "catastrophe" in this discussion. Neither Knufen nor diafygi used the word.

But if you insist on getting Knufen's definition of catastrophe, you should also get diafygi's, since diafygi posted the claim that we're arguing about in this sub-thread.

I'm sorry, you're right.

"Catastrophe" is a suboptimal word choice.

What would you suggest?

Minor inconvenience, regrettable circumstances, potential nuisance, that gosh darn weather? Other?

SME diafygi, who has skin in the game, who completely rearranged his life to match his beliefs, posted very personal views. For his troubles, Knufen mocked him, thereby minimizing the circumstances, thereby proving diafygi's larger point.

The world's burning. And you're fussing over adjectives. More distraction. Again, proving diafygi's larger point.

Please. Continue.
