Definition of hypocrite

[thfcsteff]

Hi everyone,

Someone sent me a rather tears, rude and inaccurate PM regarding the fact a post of mine appeared in a locked thread.

I had no idea the Leon Knight thread was locked when I went to it, further, my post went up so I now obviously understand that I can put something into a locked thread.

Not my style.

So, in case anybody had anything further to say on the matter, here is the Merriam-Webster definition of hypocrite.

Definition of HYPOCRITE

1
: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2
: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings


If we can stay on topic, perhaps there'll be some interesting philosophical debate.

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Case closed.

I would agree wholeheartedly with what you've posted.

It would appear the thread is ended? Unless I've missed something.
