&gt;I do not have to remain silent, and you just contradicted yourself when you both said that someone had to debate if they disagreed but at the same time had the option to be silent. Did you ever take a class in logic? It would serve you well to study it.<p>I said it was required to settle the matter. I didn&#x27;t say the matter had to be settled. Have you studied reading comprehension? It&#x27;s incredibly useful!<p>&gt;I provided evidence showing that Eric wrote a dictionary of jargon including the term &quot;hacker&quot;.<p>He wrote something and called it a dictionary. Great! I can do that. Anyone can do that. It&#x27;s not a credential. It&#x27;s enough to garner interest, and like I said, I read the entry, but writing something and slapping Dictionary as a heading is hardly evidence of that thing being true. That evidence is what he fails to even try to provide. I have provided a definition of both the word hack and how the suffix -er functions. Neither seem to be in dispute so the idea that there&#x27;s disagreement over the combination is frankly nuts.
