I wasn't aware that respecting someone involved agreeing with their definition. Thinking that thought is pretty disrespectful, but a respectful person would still go, "wait, what? That doesn't make sense."
I'm really not sure how it helps Meaning to basically just use the word however you want. It certainly doesn't help communication. I guess to me, when a bunch of different people see a word as meaning two different, possibly even contradictory things, I don't see how this is good, positive, helpful or "beautiful". I'm also not sure how hard that makes people think, either.
