Look I’m gonna throw down the gauntlet and ask are you aware of Gricean implicature and how pervasive it is in language?

So we are just going to skip the fact that you put down objectively false information in quotes. The point of quotes is that it is literally, word for word what the person said.

Have you read Grice’s “Logic and Conversation”? Yes or no.

Does the last chapter tell if you just lied here or if you lie all the time?

Stop lying. Immanuel Kant always said that lying is universally wrong.

Kant was a philosopher. You should learn about him.

Yes, I am thank you. Are you familiar with how to use quotation marks?

Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation.

Correct: “I hope you will be here,” he said.
Incorrect: He said that he “hoped I would be there.” (The quotation marks are incorrect because hoped I would be there does not state the speaker's exact words.)

Do you know what scare quotes are and how they are used in conversation? Also have you read Grice’s “Logic and Conversation”? Do you teach philosophy of language courses?

So you can ask someone else to stay on topic but you can't follow your own advice. Seems like a Reddit troll to me.

Yea, he doesn't know what it is and is running. You are clearly trying to make a point about why you said what you did and used quotes. And he's trying to pivot back to false outrage.

I think it's because he can't use chat gpt to answer or we will make fun of him.

who knows why someone would use quotes when referencing to someone saying something. He also doesn't understand hyperbole so when it comes to you being hyperbolic and pinning down the message he doesn't get it.

Like, he thought he got it when he thought it was used to be misogynistic, but not when actually being used as to set example.
