It's a shame that an important discussion on dangerous use of UAVs turned into a silly back and forth on the meaning of a word. Our news media has caused a lot of this problem just as it has with the words "assault weapon".

I'd like to suggest that we direct our conversations to FPV because that limited area of this hobby is really where the problems are. FPV involves taking your eyes off the aircraft and looking at a very limited view of the world through a video screen which presents a huge safety hazard to anone else around. And it matters not if the intended use if for fun or commercial it is still dangerous.
