Yeah well nobody is trying to attach meaning to "Alex".

a pronoun surely contains as much meaning as the proper noun it replaces?

"Names don't have meaning" is an interesting argument.

We're waiting for you to finish your thoughts..

Most people do so before having argumentative chats online.

You're claiming names have meaning. Back yourself up. I've got no burden of proof. They're literally arbitrary placeholders for identity.

  1. I'm not the guy you were trying to argue with.

  2. I never made a counterclaim to your statement that 'names don't have meaning'. You still have the burden of proof for YOUR claim.

  3. we are STILL waiting for you to finish your thought. You've really dug yourself a deep hole here, fella.
