Context matters in the original post and good on Money Guy for not wasting time arguing semantics. Money Guy comes to air a grievance on a gear grinder thread and gets roasted and insulted by the same people and being called a ***k. Ironically it turns out his family may be able to attempt to do some good in what is most likely an incredibly challenging and heart breaking situation.

Words have meaning. MoneyGuy was demeaning this woman by separating her from the purer bloodline of the blood relatives. It was a deliberate word choice used to denigrate/shame a young mother further by delegitimizing her existence/pedigree relative to her non-adopted family members. It was a gross characterization of her and not something that needed to be shared with a couple hundred strangers on CP.
