Call it "Planetary Urbanization" or something.
OK, fine. I'll call it "Planet-wide urbanization". But in Greek. Ecumenopolis is the closest translation, but I won't use your idea, just the word.

Just have the decency to not use the idea
Are you calling me indecent for using a word that is not patented/registered? Wow!

which you admit I brought to your attention
In a collaborative thread about FreeOrion, an open-source project.
Seriously, if you don't want "your" ideas (that are concepts floating in the mankind from before you were born) to be used by others, keep them "secret".

in a way I have repeatedly tried to tell you is outside the scope of its intention.
And I hear you from the start, but it seems you don't understand: I don't care what is your intention (you can feel bad about it if you like, that would be your choice, and only yours, I'm only responsible for trying to not hurt your feelings), I care about creating good stuff for FreeOrion.

Not doing so disrespects my contributions here
That is only your subjective and confused perception. You choose to take this personally.

and creates a hostile environment.
Hey, you want to contribute an Ecumenopolis thingy that is exacly what you like it to be? Go learn GitHub, do a PR, get it merged into master, and be happy.
labgnome, I'm sick of you.
You and me have clashed too many times. We don't get along each other and we can't fix that. I will keep trying to not interact with you, I suggest you do the same.
However, you better start not contributing stuff you don't want to be "disrespected" or do the right legal work to make sure it is kept as your intellectual property. Otherwise, I will feel free to use anything that is not copyrighted, if I like the idea, and I will use it however I find it appropriate as per my criteria (which is different than yours).
I will no longer feel bad about your feelings in discussions like this, regardless of the original idea discussed being yours or not, because I genuinely think it is your problem, not mine.
