This is an interesting thing, Faldage.
I have noticed that most adherents to particlar ideologies are refered to as " ... ites" when the referee is being pejorative, and "... ists" when the referee is expressing approval.
Is this a general "rule?" Are there exceptions with which will provide proof?
And what is the position of "...ian?"
