What's been up with Piotr?

This definition www.merriam-.....ctionary/ego and what words you use to define it are different. Yes words change and evolve. Just because you and your group of friends define it that way does not make its meaning change to the rest of the world.  Being a society ( if you are being part of it) you agree to certain things being true. Example using Webster as a use for defining words. Yes there can be a language difference but that still does not make it correct.

It does if my definition includes the definition used by the rest of society. It does. I have no view of myself, I am myself. I have no ego by neither of the definitions, same for Trump.

But it's not. Your definition is not the recognized way to define ego. You say you are a logical person. Webster is one of the major accepted dictionary's used in the United States. If you can show me another recognized dictionary that defines it your way then I will accept it. But someone's book or writings (if that was the book you were talking about before) explains it the way you accept it still doesn't make it correct.

So first we have to find some sort of agreement on the definition of ego before we can say if you do or do not have it.

Ego has always been a how you see yourself definition in my books, as well as everyone around me. Then again we're just silly Canadians.

I wouldn't really say Fenyman and Trump were alike at all, but to each their own.

Did you read their books?

So by posting negative reviews I'm inflating my opinion about myself, according to you? Silly indeed, but why are you being nationalist about it ;]

Yes, because you're calling everyone that dislikes the app an idiot. You may be wording it eloquently, but the point remains.

Somebody doesn't like your app, or how you run things. You use your elitist "logic" to paint them as incompetent invalidating any of their complaints in your eyes. Being as you made the app you're obviously emotionally invested in it and take offences to it as personal insults, to some degree. You feel better about it after bashing the people that write them.Nothing not egotistical about it.

These are my observations. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll take some convincing to see things differently.

The Canadian comment was to make the comment more lighthearted. It's this thing called humor.

I have not, though I have heard Trump speak and seen transcripts of Fenyman's lectures.

I have no ego so I do not care what some people think about me lol. This makes me free from the need to explain that what they think I think is wrong

Nothing not egotistical about it.

Remove the superfluous 'not' from your equations and you have valid logic. Otherwise, fail ;]
