Isn't that out of line? Isn't using a dictionary definition to invalidate someone elses feelings and make them look (frankly petty) something that we don't want to be okay in the CD community?

I'm going to get so much heat for this I already know...

I never invalidated his feelings of sadness. Using a dictionary definition to try and inform everyone as to how the term is supposed to be used is not an attempt at invalidation. It's an attempt at correction.
