Rfv-sense: "including or containing a mixture of diverse elements or styles; mixed". I don't find this in major dictionaries. --EncycloPetey 18:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think he may be referring to the common usage, "I’m/he’s an ecumenical ___", as an ecumenical abuser (who abuses both sides, both parties, both groups equally). Synonymous with "equal opportunity" (as an equal-opportunity abuser). —Stephen 00:56, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFV failed, sense removed. Perhaps the editor was thinking of eclectic? (BTW, Stephen, google:"ecumenical abuser" finds only eight hits, but if you're sure of the sense you mention, feel free to add it.) —RuakhTALK 01:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
