Leave it to the agitators to take words out of context in order to show what 
idiots their fellow contributors are.  In this case, the trick was 
constructing a logical syllogism omitting the middle term and adding a 
conclusion that falsifies it.

The complete statement I made (to Mark) was: "Reality isn't what you 'call 
it'; it's what IS.  That's why I call it 'Essence'."  The obvious meaning of 
the statement is that the name or term used to identify an entity is not 
that entity itself.

So the correct syllogism, if one needs it, would read:

A. Reality is not a term used to identify it.
B. Reality is that which IS.
C. :. I use Essence (to express what IS).

Now, if people would only apply their talents to solving problems instead of 
creating them ...
