An appeal to definition is not the same as the basis of language which is common understanding of the meaning of a word.
I didn't say it was
Appeal to definition is pretending a definition can be a premise of an argument
Your stance of demanding that Eden abide by your definition of altruism is an example of appeal to definition.
definitions should be obvious to each participant beforehand, and if they are not, should only be resolved in favour of one participant. if the definition proposed is meaningless or simply not commonly accepted, the participant is thrown from a cliff. that's how fucking mad I am at semantics ruining the fields of academia that should've saved the last few decades.
It almost never can be
Whereas the group here agree with the common vernacular
You're the odd man out
And so you fall back on appealing to your definition.
That's what the basis of what you linked is
Not that all appeals are wrong, it's that appealing for the sake of appealing is wrong, which is what you, not Eden, did.
Is this nsfw
He had tonclarify where he is coming from.
@Greasy Definitions simply should be agreed on your not argued at all
You demanded he see it your way, and he refused.
Like I said, you can't even hold a philosophical debate without citing arbitration by anonymous entities.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nothing is true, everything is permitted, assassanal creed
You can talk about two people's understanding of a word and contrast those understandings, but arguing a definition in the middle of a different argument is an obvious fallacy
Which means the basis of your arguments are all garbage.
You refuse to bend
And the majority here already has determined you're wrong.
I have the feeling phadreus has a samurai sword and a fedora

@NinjaQuick
And you only provide external opinions not participant in the conversation as proof and evidence for your position.

Toilet paper as a means of getting ass
Genius
Which is piss philosophy.
Think for yourself
Rather than using the thoughts of others.
This is why philosophy departments end up ass reality denying communists
