This was really interesting. Especially all the quotes you used to show the proof of etymology. I'm really glad my own understanding of queerplatonic lines up with the original definition.
I'm really surprised that fights break out on the origin of the word (which I never really knew until reading this) but I would have thought that if any fights broke out it would be over the meaning of the word and how it is used.
I do think 'Aspec' should be used more. I know Aros and Aces have differing issues, but some are shared, and we have a shared history, and Aspec is a great term for those who don't use the split attraction model. Basically I feel we should share a Aspec dictionary rather than trying to carve out separate dictionaries for Aces and Aros.
Awesome Etymology
