Advocate Against???

How in hell does a person advocate AGAINST something? Advocating implies, necessarily, being an advocate FOR something. You don't advocate for being against not using split infinitives, that's just silly and it sounds ridiculous. USE PROPER ENGLISH IF YOU'RE GOING TO POST ON THE WIKIPEDIA IN ENGLISH! Especially when the subject IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!!!
