Revisiting Combat as Sport vs Combat as War

[PhoenixPhyre]

CaS as a pejorative is rather… odd… given that the originator of the terms was so clearly in the CaS camp. Given the value of the term, "a sporting challenge", it's tough to replace - do you have an alternative nomenclature for consideration?

I'd vote for "don't". It's not a meaningful distinction except as a pejorative. Say what you mean directly, without using a shortened phrase that carries hidden assumptions and meanings.

I feel that way about a lot of "forum terms". RAW. RAI. Etc.
