Only a person who knows is losing the argument would ever resort to such low tactics as to attack the practice of using perfectly good and established definitions of words.

Dude, are you serious? I keep telling you you're fine using your definitions, but I prefer to use other definitions. I've said why I prefer those definitions, and why I choose to identify by one, while you prefer to label me by another. You keep telling me what the words mean, as though they have only one definition, and trying to railroad me into following your preferred definitions.
Like I said, you're not even wrong in your etymology, and you have every right to think of me as an agnostic atheist if you want. You do NOT, however, have a right to tell me what definitions of words I must use, and what I must therefore identify as.
