(1,150 posts)I can't recall a time when the legal meaning of a 'disinterested party' ever came into play in my practice, so it faded a bit out of my vocabulary since law school .
Still, sorry for the error - I used the word to put particular emphasis on the seemingly active nature of the poster's quite strongly expressed lack of interest in the subject. 'Uninterested' just didn't seem to fit.
I do understand what you're saying, also, but... well, I wouldn't have written a post on the subject at all if not for the first reply, which seemed to me a lot more like arrogance than a statement indicating 'lack of interest.' If you're really not at all interested in something, you tend not to bother to make unsolicited comments to the effect on Internet discussion forums.
