Don't be a snowflake.

Some ideas.

For my feeling you (and not only you) are pushing hard to let certain words be accepted, be them part of legit nouns or not. If my feeling is right, I feel it a waste of energy really. Like someone trying to argue with a brick. Note: I don't want to say that the other side is the brick, I want to capture how silly is the action.

Moreover it starts to be inconsistent as well. On one side there is the attempt to let some words be accepted, otherwise the one rejecting them are snowflakes. On the other side offense is taken until that word is not accepted, so behaving like a snowflake.

Just accept that every private place (this forum is a private place open to everyone as far as I know) has certain rules. I don't like, no sorry, I hate stormfront. But I cannot expect to go there and be treated well if I rock the boat. I will get banned in seconds, I guess. And that's it, I have to swallow it.

Instead of putting your energy to convince the others to accept a certain type of language that in my opinion is not even needed. Why don't you focus your energy to try to involve everyone to recover the most useful contributions of yours? You better than anyone else know what is missing, and the priority for it.

Would be nice that you open another thread to coordinate the efforts and give some pointers. If you keep being fixed on some unneeded words, then maybe that content is not important for you (although could be important for someone else).

You can still argue about words later, but in my opinion the matter of recovering the content has more priority than a word that can be easily replaced without altering its meaning.
