Dude. You lost this round.

That isn't the case, and I've already explained why many times. It would be pointless to go back and argue it again. The point is, I never claimed what you said I claimed.

Being academically correct won't save you from a freshly opened can of whoopass.
...the OP has made threads on the topic before and I participated in some so I didn't even really bother with fully reading the OP.
The basic idea is "you are wrong if you hit me for what I say."
I argued in one of the other threads "They should have expected it".
Similar to what you are saying.
If you provoke someone and you know some people don't agree with the no hitting policy then how could you not be expecting it?
If we set aside all the pseudo-philosophic crap aside, sometimes it isn't just expected it but they are counting on it.

I have followed your participation in the thread. It didn't need clearing up.
You were the one asking that I explain my posts. I was clarifying that it was an offshoot regarding the phrase "words have power" because the OP insists in saying that it means people are attributing supernatural power to words.
It got jumbled with people having power over others and you jumped in there, somewhere, and said that people have the power to act or not to act. I think we all agree but that wasn't what was being discussed.

Whatever you feel is best for you.
I'm pretty much done with the thread as well. It's at the point where OP says he is misunderstood. Someone asks that he clarify and then he repeats things just as everyone understood them but disagreed and argued against and OP acts like no valid arguments have been made in the past 30+ pages.
Some time later he starts a thread with the same basic topic so we can rinse and repeat.

You have nothing but your dogmas to back up your claims.

Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black.

You know what? The problem is me. Guilty as charged. I'll stop responding in this thread (or at least stop replying to you in it). Good luck on your quest for knowledge and future endeavours. Hope everyone in this thread has learned something valuable or those that haven't still can. It's an important topic.

Not an argument, which is the going rate for your posts.
