dictionary flame
     
        [{Usenet}] An attempt to sidetrack a debate away from issues
        by insisting on meanings for key terms that presuppose a
        desired conclusion or smuggle in an implicit premise.  A
        common tactic of people who prefer argument over definitions
        to disputes about reality.  Compare {spelling flame}.
