Proposed Alteration to Forum Rules

RE: Proposed Alteration to Forum Rules
Quote:...this is treated opportunistically by some to suggest that I both advocate and practice defining words arbitrarily or for no reason.

*facepalm*

Let me clear something up for you; freedom of expression means you can discuss your ideas / beliefs here openly and freely, with no censorship. Whilst some people may wish to use their own custom dictionaries (although goodness knows why they would), we ask that in the interests of better communication, people stick to words that are defined by dictionaries that already exist.

It is quite simple.

Edit: Additionally, if you really are that annoyed by us constantly berating you for redefining words in discussions, have you ever considered not doing it?
