I think this aspect is being played up unnecessarily - I think everyone agrees that there's no 'wrong' involved here, since it's something that is completely up to personal choice, and probably doesn't carry 'value' (in the sense of right/wrong) in the sense some have applied it.
For me, I was simply pointing out that the act fits a very precise definition - but my overarching point was to end the value judgement of that definition, not to try to convince people they were 'wrong'.
Beside that, there is no reason to defend yourself here - everyone has given their reasoning, and they are free to follow that to their hearts' content . . . sometimes, this isn't the holy war we pretend it to be. Let's see the trees for the forest, instead of the other way around.
