In case you didn't know what OGRE stands for, this is from my original blog post at this blog:
And for those that do not know an OGRE is an Opinionated Genius Right Everytime. An OGRE will use the Right hand of reason along with the Left fist of "bullshitastical dumbassery" to beat and eat Trolls and devour or maim anyone else that dares to cross their path.
I am now changing the meaning of the word to Opinionated Guy Right Every-so-often. I guess the stroke, all the stuff I read online thanks to social media, and changes in my philosophic/theological outlook has taught me some humility. There is a lot of "bullshitastical dumbassery" in the world. I'll try to do less of that and listen to what people are actually saying, or trying to say, and actually respond to it in a meaningful way. Our public discourse has become far too divisive and I think adding to the BSDA is a dead end road. Being right doesn't matter as much as getting it right or at least heading in that direction.
