Just read a nice article 'Taboo Your Words' by Eliezer Yudkowsky. As I've mentioned previously, I like to avoid degenerating arguments into definitions, and he suggests another way of avoiding this problem - by avoiding the use of the terms you find contentious to begin with.
If you're interested in reading something outside of roguelikes, it looks like Overcoming Bias is has a lot to say.
