let's just agree to disagree.

In the future, if you are going to debate the semantics of of word with me, don't bother. You obviously understand me when I say the people I am talking about have no real vested interest in gaming. So at the moment we are just arguing the meaning of an unestablished word.

My side: I'm using a word that has a consensus definition. Most people will agree that gamer means someone who plays games as an enthusiast. I consider anything less a "person who plays videogames/ videogamer".

Your Side: There is no official definition of gamer at the moment. Maybe one day there will be, but right now I refuse to accept a word that isn't strictly defined. Gamer can mean enthusiast, hobbyist, wiifit user, or someone who has played minesweeper once.

Let's leave it at that.
