So your point is that the language is changing, and “slams” (and such) now means any public commentary?

Yes, I can see that. My problem is that it’s vague.

Random person politely disagrees? Slams. Shouting match on the Congress floor? Slams. Some celebrity writes a book about an unrelated topic and just wants to get views? Slams.

Its overuse has made it meaningless.

I should write a plugin that changes “slams” to “comments on”. That’d make everyone happy again.
