You used the word equitation twice in successive posts. It means what I said it means. I'm guessing that's not what you meant..

No flips for you!
Nope, you can't claim honest opinion as a defense. You've made a statement of fact -- people are using "the fiction" to equivocate, specifically to sneak in "novel writing" for the make-believe results of play. This is not an opinion, it is a claimed statement of fact.
That it's unnamed people and that they seem to intend to do this makes this seem very much like conspiratorial ideation, and that's not healthy, man.

OK, I thought as much. It just struck me as odd. As you were sir.

I have stated what I think and believe to be the case. It is an opinion. It could be wrong. I am not going to dig through an old thread though over it. I am content to just go by my memory.

It's not an opinion if you're making statements of fact. Otherwise, you're saying that you imagine people have been equivocating with "the fiction" in other threads and you imagine it happens elsewhere you haven't seen. Is this your statement -- that you have an active imagination and imagine these things? If so, okay, your opinion. Quite a silly one, but we can put it safely to bed as just some active imagination.

I am not infallible. I am making statements I believe to be factual, but they are clearly my opinions. For example whether someone equivocated is going to be a debatable thing. I think equivocation arose in those threads. But that is my opinion because I could very well be incorrect.
So when people in this thread tried to use a stable definition of Fiction, without equivocation, and with specific attention to the subject at hand, why was this other thread so important? More important than anything anyone here had to say, obviously. But not important enough to quote or refer to? You spent a lot of time derailing conversation based on amorphous fears of the use of the word fiction, I think it's appropriate to dig into that a little.

No, you're again using words incorrectly. Facts cannot be your opinion. They exist or do not. You may have opinions about facts, but you can't say a thing is a fact and also your opinion -- this is a category error. You are saying that you think a thing exists, but this is an act of imagination, not of fact. Saying that it's your opinion that such equivocations as have been discussed exist is you imagining that they do. If this is the case, as I said, we can easily put this to bed as your imagination of bad things. No further need to argue.
