My Vent: Is there a reason why people on this site continually pick fights over the meanings of words? Language is fluid, what a word means to one, means something totally different to another. Why get caught up in the hassle of trying to make others buy your definitions? Also, what do...

I posted this as a comment in a thread, but would like to isolate here for more general comments. I belong to a pretty active poly community in a major city (not going to specify). After researching, this particular group appears to be the only active community in the city for younger people...
