You get what you look for.

People on either side of any issue use language in a highly specific way - Pro-life/Pro-choice, Unionist/Republican.

Assume that there is a battle for the semantic connotation of certain highly charged words. You think its your work. The people on the other side of the arguement use it as a perjorative.

If you look on an algoritmically driven search engine, and according to the algorithm, you are not winning the arguement, blaming the search engine is an error of perception (dumb).

If you don't like the way another group of people use one of your power words, deal with that. Don't get your knickers in a bunch with the messenger.
