What you and your fellow cohorts did was over-react to a bit of fun with language that some of us were using and enjoying. You turned what was a light-hearted and playful adoption of a beautiful sounding word into some kind of personal insult to you.

If you'd just ignored the word (as so many did) then you would have found no resistance, the word might have even died a natural death. But now you and yours have polarised the community, drawn a line in the sand and dared others to cross that line.

There's nothing I like more than a lost cause or a line in the sand
Well, you are totally wrong in your statement about me.

It is extremely rude to claim these kind of things and be wrong about it.
