https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use%E2%80%93mention_distinction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use%E2%80%93mention_distinctio... suggests that quotation marks are valid here (which is clearly the most important aspect of this dispute)
- greendestiny_re 10y agoI'd cede the point if the topic was abstract philosophy or my comment was intentionally vague, but neither of those are true. What I said and what pcwalton argued against have nothing in common, except two out of 13 words: "any" and "them", which means pcwalton simply made up 84.62% of that statement. Why? It makes for a handy strawman so he can appear intellectually superior.
