Remember, though, that just because you invented a term doesn't mean you
control its usage for all eternity. It may be annoying that meanings
get changed, and thus in the interim wind up with two conflicting
meanings for the same word used by different groups, but that's life,
and that's language for you.

It's not "Say why YOUR definitions should be allowed!" There's no need
for confrontation. It's "what's yours, what's mine, how do they differ,
and how can they be reconciled, if at all?"
