You people have not specified what you mean by free will. It's really that simple.

Ultimately you can only define things in terms of other things, and if you keep on doing that you end up in an infinite regress - you can't always work with definitions. Nobody who was not immersed in this debate would understand how anyone could ask for the meaning of free will!!
Even mathematical theories end up with axioms. If we can't accept the concepts such as personal free will, how can we accept any of maths or science - maybe our heads are filled with clockwork mechanisms that make logical falsehoods look like truth!
