Sorry - not really.

I occasionally joke about the rapidly changing usage of language today, but I'd be the first to argue that language has always evolved.

For reasons similar to supporting a "free speech" website (that's nonetheless overrun with only one kind of speech), I also support the freedoms of others to follow their own path, and that they too could "say their truth" on Saidit. If they are not causing harm - to children, for example - I think it's none of our business how they run their lives, any more than it's my business how you run your life. Yes, I agree that there are problems whereby these unusual people occasionally try to influence others, and I would agree that this is wrong, as it runs counter to the reason for tolerating these unusual people in the first place.
