"...one must avoid being distracted by the meaning of words or argumentative about the meaning of words and listen actively to the spirit of what's being said regardless of the words being used."

I absolutely agree with this. It is important to clarify meanings. However, when the intended meaning or application has been given or is obvious according to context, it is quite distracting to quible about an alternative meaning of a word.

Note that I did offer my definitions of Peace and Equality because I felt it contributed something to the discussion, not because I wanted to be contentious.
