By 'legit', I mean that the sincerity and detail provided in the message conveys a tone that I am open to accepting as being from a real police officer. Maybe it isn't. Having zero history on the account has no baring on whether the person is legit or not.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Oh, so by "Legit" you mean, how you feel about it.
Right. I wonder what the dictionary definition of legitimate actually is and whether your feelings of legitimacy are relevant to fulfil the requirements.
Your are consistent. Unfortunately from an argument perspective, it is consistently inconsistent.
'legit' is a colloquial usage of the term 'legitimate'.
The third definition of 'legitimate' in mainstream dictionaries is:
What is valid or justifiable is subjective and thus anyone can say anything is legitimate, without needing some kind of bizarro external authority to pat them on the head.
You have justified that anything you believe must be true because of how you feel about it, regardless if whether it is true or not.
"truthseekers" - finding the truth in how they feel about things.
Spoiler: don't let facts get in the way, everything is legitimate.
Great work there mate.
No, I haven't. I didn't even mention feelings, you are just using this tired trope as a lazy get out clause to avoid the depth involved.
