That could apply. Lol
You should just avoid using “staunch” incorrectly.
If you cannot express your thoughts correctly with the right words, you're not debating anything.
People can be staunch supporters of a position. "I find the whole reaction to be staunch" is word salad. That's like saying I find the whole reaction to be tall.
But more importantly, in general it is not appropriate use of the term to call someone's own support of their own opinions "staunch" because by definition, we always believe what we believe. You can't staunchly support yourself. That's nonsensical. That implies there are people who aren't "staunch" supporters of themselves - that they aren't sure if what they believe is what they believe and aren't loyal to their own position.
That's why saying you find the reactions in this thread to be "staunch" is weird, and borderline meaningless. First because reactions can't be staunch anything, second even people can't be "staunch" they have to be staunch somethings - staunch supporters, staunch advocates, staunch debaters - and third, you can't really be a staunch supporter of yourself, and most people here are voicing their own opinions, not taking up the cause of someone else's.
By using words incorrectly, you are vaguely and ambiguously making difficult to parse allusions. To the extent that your words have any meaning at all, the most reasonable possible meaning someone could infer would be that you're accusing everyone in the thread of specifically supporting one person's viewpoint collectively. I don't think that is what you intended, but how could I possibly know for sure.

Lol at “word salad”
You're accusing people who won't kowtow to your opinion to be sheep. Can they not afford irony in third world countries?
Not at all. I am mocking your previous statement that since you come from a third world country you somehow have a more assertive viewpoint. I'm also implying a certain amount of hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness, and I will admit I did so in a manner that would be self-confirming if true in the latter case.
I will just state directly that repeatedly accusing people of having no spine just because you are unable to convince them you're correct is one of the few behaviors I have no specific qualms about mocking, because it is entirely reprehensible conduct.
It’s not cheating. It’s not an exploit. THEY aware in charge of 2 allies. They all moved to THEIR OWN second ally. People are just mad because they don’t like some of the individuals. I don’t like them either. But this is absurd.
There have been some straw man arguments made throughout these numerous pages. But the examples he used were not.
If you want to focus on what words I used and ignore my main point, that's entirely up to you. I thought you to be more intelligent than that. I have no interest in being perfect, and this entire discussion just mutes what I was saying regardless. If we're resorting to nitpicking over wording then the discussion has spent itself. It's a terribly limited way to think that the only appropriate use of words is the one you hold. Last I checked, English is a free language that contains words with many uses and meanings, and people are free to use them however they see fit to express themselves. Now back to the topic.
You have to learn how to relax. I understand your point of view and that you really enjoy to debate, but you are not playing the same game as the others here. Other people are commenting without a structure and without editing their paragraphs. You are, but it doesn't mean other people do. So, I know it sounds stupid, but you shouldn't keep pushing on grammatical errors or on evolving opinions that contradict themselves. You should, for the most part, just read the latest comment from that person, try to understand why he is saying that, and then you can comment in your style.
But people do not write forum posts in an academic way. It would be nice if they did, but they don't. Your expectations are too high. Let's debate in a way we can change our minds from post to post. You know... fun.
You called anyone who doesn’t agree with you sheep, the classless one is you. Have you ever left your alliance to another? If you did then you didn’t earn the war rating per your logic and have cut in line!
Mutes? Moots?
Mutes. Silences what I was actually saying. I think it's time we worry about our own words. This is getting small-minded and petty. If I type it, that's what I want to say. End of story.
But that's part of the problem. Sometimes what you want to say makes no sense. Often in fact lol. Especially when you procure staunch.
Please someone explain to me what the Spanish proverb had to do with the subsequent comment. I see no link
Pretty stupid since people will save a seat with a jacket or can ask a friend to watch it for them but I gave up trying to argue with that guy.
I like cheese too and I agree.
Although I agree with most of what you say, I have to say that (even when worded weirdly) GW his opinion on this matter is in line with mine. What ØMNÎ is doing here is not cheating.
