Semantics, the trolls last resort.
Eric replied:
No, when anyone focuses on alternate meanings of words, or detailed interpretations of words, to divert the discussion away from topic, it's a troll tactic. You would know, you do it *all the time*.Eric StevensTony Cooper
You don't understand the meaning of semantics, either.
It's very simple. If you use the wrong word or term, it's an error. If they use the wrong word or term, and you call them on it, it's "trolling" and "semanitics".
The ironic thing about Popinjay writing "Semantics, the trolls [sic] last resort"It's so utterly hilarious to have you try to be sarcastic about "trolls" and "troll's" in a post where you wrote "semanitics".
is that "semantics" is about the meaning of words and phrases in a particular context.No shit, Sherlock?
So, what he's saying is that "The meaning of words is the troll's last resort."Indeed. When the troll's can no longer argue the central point or anything related to the discussion, they divebomb into word meanings and other details. It's a common tactic that you guys use all the time.
To pay attention to the meaning of words and phrases is, according to Popinjay, trolling.I knew logic was hard for you, but this is laughable. Just because semantics is your last resort doesn't mean that any semantics means anyone is like you.
