Not sure why the parent was downvoted.
"Arbitrary" and "random" tend to be used in different senses. "Random" connotes unpredictability, while "arbitrary" connotes subjectivity to individual judgement.
I was not intending to claim that the moderators' actions are based on rolling dice, for example.
("Meaning" and "sense" have very similar meaning and sense to me.)
And so we see that I am a terrible communicator. I would blame the study of philosophy for introducing me to wonderful distinctions that no one else uses, though I'm sure a student of philosophy would tell me that "sense" and "reference" are the relevant subcategories of "meaning", and both of what I referred to above fall under "sense". Is Frege or C.S.Peirce in the house?
But seriously, fixed (I hope).
