Historically speaking, the word "forum" goes back to Greek or Roman
times (I forget which offhand), when it referred to a literal place
where people would meet to discuss things.

As such, a "forum for discussion" can be any place where people go to
discuss things, or to leave messages for other people to respond to, or
the like. Even a physical bulletin board can qualify.

However, although a "mailing list" and a "Web forum" can both qualify as
a "forum for discussion" in a technical sense, they are very different
things. If you're referring to a Web forum, you should not call it just
a "forum", and if you call a mailing list a "forum", you should not
thereby imply that it shares any particular characteristics with a Web
forum.

So... as far as I can tell, either you've just admitted that you're
incapable of learning and are beyond help, or you've just admitted that
you're trolling.

In either case, the only thing to do would be to begin outright ignoring
you (possibly via killfile), and advise other people to do the same.
