Don't project, don't assume you can read minds and emotional states over the internet.

Of course we here in Australia think of anyone bandying about "alpha" as a tosser .. how else do you suppose they'd be thought of?

They're literally right there with people that use "Bro" in a sentence and espouse paleo diets.

We're talking about the definition in a more formal context. Of course I don't go around saying hey "that dude is an alpha" or "i'm an alpha."
