Oxymoronic: a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.”
[Locution: particular form of expression; a word, phrase, expression, or idiom, esp. as used by a particular person, group, etc. Incongruous: out of keeping or place; inappropriate; unbecoming: an incongruous effect; incongruous behavior.]
I don't think that human beings who no doubt created the word oxymoronic are in fact the best embodiment of the term. Maybe some of them, but it's a pretty vast generalization you are making...

well...Let'sjust agree to disagree i think your taking my generalization in more literal terms than it was meant to be taken in, besides it's on persons opinion.
