Chris, this is very much unlike you.

From dictionary.com:

identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations

There are some ways in which I want Wales to benefit over others. There's nothing wrong with that in a competitive world.

You choose to take 'nationalist' on one definition, I chose to take it as another.

At best you should have settled for us having different ways of using the word. As someone who has lived here for over 35 years (I'm aware you too have spend some time here) I'm fully aware of the skewered view people have of Welsh nationalism which may well have been appropriate in the 70s/80s/90s but does not accurately (or even closely) represent it today.
