What is unplain about the perfectly standard word 'otiose', Will?

I suppose I see your main point. But I feel I have caused some of the more foolish lefties to shift from their original entrenched pathetic, long-since confuted "All property is theft" foolishness; which I will admit to having done, in time-honoured quasi-casuistic fashion, by refining the question almost to the point of reductio ad absurdum. Prior to that, foul-mouthed Steve would doubtless have gone on for ever denouncing the ownership of anything, even a packet of chips one had just bought for 90p at a takeaway.

Sorry if you found it tiresome; but imo it wanted doing to bring old Foulmouth to the point of actually admitting "I have nothing against ownership, even ownership of land" (Alleluia!); which he did so graciously & gracefully by denouncing me, after all his resentments expressed above concerning the terms in which he had been addressed, as an "arrogant prick" for simply sticking to my argument and pointing out his evasiveness in response.

What a little charmer he is, to be sure.
