    Uh huh. So your argument is you secretly don’t have one but are pointing in the general direction that maybe there’s an argument somewhere here and it’s right.

      No, I made the argument quite explicit. Since it still seems to have gone over your head somehow, I’ll simplify it here:

      “Y’all hate etymological arguments right up to the point that they appear to support your position, and then suddenly you’re in love with them. That makes y’all hypocrites.”

      That’s all. That’s my argument. You’re correct that it’s right, of course.

        Oh I see. Your argument that vegans or Lemmy users have a particular linguistic theory. I have to admit, I did kind of miss the idea that you had that sort of insight while telling everyone they don’t know what your personal opinion is in other posts. Primarily because the idea is so pants on head. I’m also glad you have intimate knowledge of the language usage of gestures vaguely the UK in regards to plant milk.

          Clearly you either lack the ability to engage in good faith or have reading comprehension issues, so I think I’ll leave the conversation here. Have a good one.

            I gave up on you having good faith in this thread a long long while back hoss, if you haven’t noticed.

              Everything here has been in good faith on my part; I was giving you the benefit of the doubt (and wasting my time in the process, it seems). Very appropriate for the thread in question, I guess.
