And I repeat, we all own reliable dictionaries and can ignore your list . Who cares what little dictionary the DC wants to crank out?

People of integrity who want to commumnicate clearly and avoid the fallacy/sin of equivocation.

Why should anyone accept your list, just because it's posted on FR hundreds (maybe thousands?) of times?

It's your list. It carries no weight, no authority. The spam is posted and reposted, when the evos are called on it, they say, "dispute the list."

Well, why should anyone bother?

We have dictionaries that say "Websters" and "American Heritage" and "Oxford English"--what do we need with a dictionary written by DC?

Apparently there's no point in trying to agree on a definition of terms. When you define the terms you are using as they are used in scientific discussions, so everyone knows what you are saying, it's called spam. Conversely, the anti-evolution anti-science crowd just use whatever definitions they want without telling anyone what they are, or make up their own definitions.
