What you've described is essentially Newspeak. I won't be part of any effort to purge language, and I don't believe that doing so will socially engineer a better society, nor do I believe in such attempts to social engineer. I also don't believe words are harmful unless they're used in a harmful manner, and a majority of the words on Stanford's list not used in such a manner, being just part of every day language.
