That's a good question and I think we'll have to discuss it more. If people are just going to change "Christards" to "Christardianity" then part of me feels like that violates the spirit of the rule even if it doesn't violate the exact wording of it.
Exactly this. If someone feels that they have to use words like these to keep their head from exploding, save them for the body of the post.
