I've seen that disagreement all the time online with philosophical discussions where opposing sides use different definitions and refuse to accept the same terminology. I wonder though if professional philosophers are more careful and exact. My interpretation of most online philosophical argument is that semantic disputes are somewhat intentional, because people do not want to give the other side any ground to stand on. Agreeing to terms could mean the arguments based on those terms have some merit.
