Then what if it doesn’t? What if these groups just pay the fees and continue as they were before? Will you still whine?

I hope they dont think Im being purposefully ignorant.
I totally get the cause here, I just think its as little unessescary
That’s called rigor. When you give rule, you need to give an objective measure to apply that rule. Otherwise it’s arbitrary power.
It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s just stupid. You make a rule, that means nothing, and can’t be evaluated.
Just like that retarded “luxurious” thing. Give more stupid terms, let’s all create our own term that allow us to be right in any circumstance since we are the one drawing the lines at our will.
That’s just BS.
Yeah, that’s called polysemy fallacy.
You can always use throwaway corvettes when your structure is under a tack. Yet they say"can’t defend" which means this definition is out of question.
Of course they will.

See, I have no idea what a polysemy fallacy is, and Ive never needed to know until now.
Suffice to say I understood him perfectly well, presumably because I dont talk like a crazy robot nerd.
Seriously, lighten up.
You might be clever, but youre really mean for no reason sometimes.

Never not whine until it’s 100% safe.

I’m using defend in a correct manner and context, and in a way that is understood by native English speakers; it’s not the only way to use it as evidenced by the way that you’re using it, which is also correct but somewhat at odds with the way I’m using it.
Don’t judge native speakers by the standards of Academia, those standards are rarely adhered to in the common use of language.

In a way that can’t be used in that context.
Anderson is just one of those people that think everyone who doesn’t carry the same opinion as him/her is “irrelevant” or “BS”. And that’s all you need to know about how Anderson operates. Any thread he or she participates in becomes a train wreck. He or she is one of those types of people that are best ignored. Too bad that feature isn’t built in to the forum…

BS.
You deserve it.
Like I said…
How so?
Where are you choosing to pull your definition from?
Defend is primarily used as a verb in english.
Which you dont seem to realise is what you do when you use phrrases like BS and ■■■■ you to people.
Im sorry Geten, you act like you want to educate people but call them stuff when they try. You just dont want to do anything but tell people how much smarter you are, which is tbh pretty fing selfish when you could be using your obvious immense talent for doing good and actually increasing knowledge,. not making people resistant to it because you use phrases like that.

The context was fine and perfectly understandable. English is a pretty screwed up language to be fair, where individual words have multiple contexts and subtle differences in meaning based on the context.
Jonah’s use was perfectly fine in the context he used it, and the context was also fine for the argument he was making.

I wrote it above.
It was not, as I explained above.
People can always “defend” structure with that definition, which implies that definition makes no sense in the saying “don’t anchor what you can’t defend”.
Switching the definition used for one that is not usable in the context is a polysemy fallacy, that is a way to make it look like we are right, even when we are wrong - therefore, BS.
From your perspective sure. Unfrotunately in this, your perspective is limited and totally understandable.
We are heading into focusing on the poster rather than the post, but live by the sword and you die by the sword - which is context, has a meaning that is not literal and I hope it is understandable.
By any perspective, application of that definition to the saying is a nonsense.
I’m sorry but you’re wrong, at least 2 others in this thread are native speakers of English and my meaning was clearly understood by them.
I don’t correct speakers of other languages on their use of words and context, despite speaking at least one other European language semi fluently and 2 others to the extent that I can be understood; because in all likelihood I’d be wrong in my correction.

That’s an appeal to popularity, another fallacy.
