    Language is an essentially public phenomenon. But that's another issue.
    I wouldn't agree entirely, mainly because one can also think in terms of langauge.

    it isn't possible to obey a rule "privately" because there is no distinction between thinking you are following a rule and actually following a rule
    But who is determining that rule? Is it not the individual, who is then of course subjective.

    rules for the employment of linguistic signs
    Sorry, my lack of formal philosophical training is showing now, please can you explain that one? I cant blag my way by roughly interpreting this time

    In the case of snow, the position "snow is white" or "snow is black" is equally valid, but if you are viewing it in the context of "what is the colour of snow", with the obvious wildcard of the truth, then the position "snow is white" is more valid. In cases like these, indeed all cases, (I say that absolutely only in the context of relativism), the actual position and the context to which it is applied are separate entities. In objectivity, its the difference between n+1 dimensions (in context) and n dimensions (out of context).

    What the relativist says is senseless because relativism undermines meaning by allowing the same proposition to be entertained as true and false at the same time by the same person
    But does that necessarily make it senseless. It is considered to be true and false at the same time, but for only different contexts. The position "I am good looking" may be true for me, but I have to consider it to be false for my girlfriend point of view (all hypothetical of course ). That is because both positions are equally valid, but the two different contexts make them respectively true and false.

    If you refer to out of context, then validity is equal and irrelevant, as quantifiably, it is 0.

    propositions are not fallacious, only arguments are
    If an argument is the application of a proposition to a certain context with wildcards to judge, then yes. Take the example of a court. Defence has one argument, plaintiff has another. Judge decides on the basis of what actually happened (wildcard). In the same court with the same positions, but the opposite wildcard, the formally fallacious argument is now true for that context.

      Go get him, Agathon. He's has lots of stamina, mind you. You'll have to sweat.

                      It'd make my life easier, because I wouldn't have to deal with people like you in the tech threads.

                                Wouldn't you have to be drunk to argue that Linux is easier to use, has more game and application selection, is more consistent, has better media APIs, and has a native GUI that's more responsive?

                                The answer is yes. Drunk or incredibly ignorant.
