OK so you disagree with me (and the dictioanary)

given that it is hard to gather a reprentative sample of people and ask 
them how they use the word libertarian - what do you actually have 
against me using it in this way ??

Or are you one of those people who tries to redfine the language so that
the words that contain concepts threatening to the status quo no longer 
have meaning ?!!

Actually I don't think you are one of those people ... so what gives ?
