Why should he start now? He's been using words like Humpty Dumpty
for years. I can't believe I'm doing this, because it will provoke
dsi1 to claim that there's no agreed-upon meaning for words, but I
just have to. Words are important.

Here's what he said:

I won't say that you're wrong in your nihilist view of existence because you could be absolutely right. I prefer not to face what might be the horrible truth. I also believe that you should never go into the kitchen of your favorite Chinese restaurant. Same thing...

And here's the dictionary definition of nihilism:

the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.

There's no evidence that the person to whom he replied rejects all religious
and/or moral principles, nor that he/she believes life is meaningless.

P.S. Horrible truths must be faced. Anything else is cowardice.
