For more than two years now I've been reading these forums, and a very used word here is appeasement. But what does it mean to appease?
Let's take a look at some definitions:
Appease from Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary
1-You don't agree with the War on Terror: you must be a terrorist appeaser if you don't agree with the invasion of Iraq. After all that was a great success in order to stop terrorism.
2-You aren't an Islamophobe (place here fear of Islam or hate towards Islam): you must be a terrorist appeaser if you don't hate the Religion of hate. You should already know that most, if not all, Muslims are radicals or terrorists, and all of them are to blame for terrorism. If you don't acknowledge this, you are an appeaser.
3-You don't support Israel: you must be a terrorist appeaser if you don't agree with the human rights violations and the apartheid policies conducted by Israel. How can you support those dirty Palestinians? They don't deserve a place to live in. Most of them, if not all, are terrorists and they deserve what they get. Israel is a fair and peaceful state, and you should support their cause because it's PC.
4-You don't mind if Iran gets Nuclear Energy: you must be a terrorist appeaser if you buy that lie of Iran having Nuclear Energy. Most Iranis, if not all, are terrorists, and they just want to get nukes to wipe Israel out of the map. This must be true because GWB said so.
5-You support lifting the embargo against Cuba: you must be a Communist appeaser if you support lifting the embargo against Cuba. What do you want? Communism to spread all over the planet?
6-You believe in Global Warming: you must be an Al Gore appeaser if you buy this hippies BS. It's all a myth, they are melting down the ice while they smoke pot just to complain about something, because they are hippies.
7-You don't support the right to bear arms: you must be a criminal appeaser if you don't support this right to defend your family from any criminal out there. After all you can't leave that task to the police, they aren't as trained as you for that job.
8-You don't support death penalty: you must be a criminal appeaser if you don't agree with killing a person because a jury said so. They can't be wrong, they don't make mistakes, what the hell do you want? Let them fry all the criminals. The system of Justice is perfect so no innocents are killed.
9-You are Pro-choice: you must be a baby killer appeaser if you are pro-choice. Don't you know that once women get pregnant they must have their babies, even if they were raped. Besides, the Vatican said so.
10-You are a Liberal: you must be an appeaser if you are a Liberal because, well everyone knows Liberals are appeasers.

The common use given here to the word is the third one. To buy off an aggressor by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles. So, to be called appeaser, sounds pretty insulting. But this is how you are called here if:Merriam-Webster's wrote:
Appease:
1: to bring to a state of peace or quiet : calm
2: to cause to subside : allay <appeased my hunger>
3: pacify, conciliate; especially : to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles
