Invective? Approbrium? My apologies for being a social worker who used taxpayer bucks to attend a state school rather than a social worker who attended an overpriced private college, but "invective" and "approbrium" in a single rant? I'm humbled and humiliated. By the way, why can't I find the latter of those two words in the dictionary?

There is no need to apologize for your background!

The earlier poster is correct in that I mistyped and thereby misspelled opprobrium. I may have been thinking of "Approval" which one might reasonably expect to earn when contributing on this site- something others might approve of, agree with and appreciate. No, not a rant, just a viewpoint or maybe a suggestion.

Anyway, now that you are using the words invective and opprobrium you have more arrows in your quiver. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Go 'gate!
