If it were, you'd get infracted for this post. For saying the forbidden phrase. And you are not, for context matters.
And we are operating on the everyday speech meaning of the word, phrase. That should be blindingly obvious. You went with the technical use in linguistics.
and i am pretty sure we need to use the phrase pretty sure. Because i am pretty sure people on the internet of these forums. Do not know the meaning of opinions, guess work. And take everything you type as a 100% correct statement. Instead of guess work. Or something you are 95% sure about. So i am pretty sure its used in the correct way.
And i am also pretty sure that most of the time, things on the internet are harder to research with all the different sources of information.
Pretty sure you can get over this phrase.
This is such a hilariously specific tangent.
I'm pretty sure this thread is going places.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Pretty sure that's not banning a phrase...You can use the word "troll" as much as you like.
Here's an easy one "During the Pre-Expansion Patch for Cataclysm I made a Troll Druid."
What you cannot do is call someone a "troll" for their posting behavior...because that's just attacking the poster...which is what is banned. It's all about context.
Here's another example:
I can say "Fucking Cunt" as much as I like here. I could be talking about my day at work and I could tell you this customer was being a "Fucking Cunt" and I would not be infracted because I'm not actually calling anyone here a "Fucking Cunt". However if during a heated discussion with another user here I called them a "Fucking Cunt" I would get infracted.
Be sure however, I am certainly not actually calling anybody here a "Fucking Cunt"...I would never call anyone here a "Fucking Cunt". I'm just using "Fucking Cunt" as an example of ways you can use the phrase "Fucking Cunt" and not get infracted. I've used the phrase "Fucking Cunt" 8 times in this post. Whoops...make that 9 times I've said "Fucking Cunt" now. Shit...now it's 10.

What's the matter? "YoU goT a SoUrCe fOR tHaT?" isn't working well enough as an argument?

Calling someone you disagree with a troll is indeed flaming, and is indeed untrue, no matter how much you convince yourself to believe so.
What, it bothers you that much that someone views something differently than you do that they have to he trolling?
I'm reasonably certain that there other phrases that carry the same sentiment as "pretty sure"... seems fairly accurate haha
