Semantics.

Neph
Besides, Beefy's original word used was 'rejected', which you did attempt to do.
Merriam-Webster

I'm not sure what definition fits for what you were trying to describe, unless I tried to reject it elsewhere.
Spoiler:
More accurately, I tried to manipulate the statement, not reject it. Perhaps you're not learning well enough? stoned

You attempted to reject it as a means of establishing Nhilus' power as to do with telekinesis, which was the premise under which I brought it up. You refused to recieve it as such, refusing its purpose as the above or as its applicability into the situation and repulsed it as being evidence.
That fits into the definition you provided.
Neal Schon is amazing. Journey coming up in lyke nein dayz!!1!

That fits into the definition you provided.
Not at all.
I accepted the source as canon and I personally accepted it for a purpose, just not the one you had in mind.
If there was any rejection on my part, it was of your intent/purpose, not the source. 13
And you wonder why you're frustrating to talk to. 😐
Gideon, you know damn well that what I described was what Beefy was talking about. None of use ever reject sources we don't like as being non-canon, we only ever do so on a basis of the argument at hand, like the numerous Palpatine 'most powerful ever' quotes, or otherwise.
And yes, the definition does fit. The examples given are <rejected the suggestion>. Rejecting something does not mean that you refuse to accept its existence, just that you deny it in some aspect. 1. To refuse to take for some purpose.

Journey are indeed a great band, particularly their cover of Glee's Don't Stop Believing though I think that when it comes to the classics you can never quite top the original:
That being said Steve Perry does do a very fine job indeed with his rendition of the song.

I thought you wanted to play a game of semantics as well,

I can use semantics too.

Oh, I agree that we tend not to just dismiss it entirely without reason. I never meant to suggest otherwise. 😬

?
Refuse to accept the existence? Even if I refuse to accept a source as credible, in effect disregarding it, that doesn't mean I deny it exists. I'm simply rejecting its validity. I accepted the source regarding Nihilus as not only real but canon, and I did accept it for a purpose, just not yours. The term doesn't apply for my treatment of the source, but rather for my treatment of your purpose. See?

I can't tell whether or not you're joking. You do realize that the song was originally written and performed by Journey, right? mmm

Indeed, written by the band and brought to life by the talented youngsters of the glee club under the direction of famed television writer Ryan Murphy for the highly acclaimed pilot episode "Pilot", only to be adapted to the stage by the original writers themselves.
And a remarkable adaptation it was indeed! 😄
Spoiler:
I am totally being serious.

All of you here know my feelings on religion (I [b]fucking hate it,) and so I find myself in the amusing position of developing book covers for a Christian publisher. In fact, I just spent two weeks living with a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian family, while I was receiving training on site. These are the kind of people that think the universe is 6000 years old, Rick Perry is God's right hand, and liberals aren't much better than “rag headed terrorists.” I didn't ask them what they thought of atheists, but then I didn't really see the point . . .Anyway, so I spent two weeks developing covers for Christian books, working on advertisements for World magazine, listening to Rush Limbaugh, and contributing to dinner conversations about how Evolution is bad science.
Somewhere, if God exists, he's laughing his fucking ass off. [/B]
I still find it amusing that atheists and secularists attempt to disprove religion by appealing to the belief that there's a discrepancy between religion's earth and science's earth.

Don't be too hard on the Whore; despite his anti-religious sentiments, he is a willing footsoldier of the Murdoch media empire and thus an agent of conservatism. 131

The fact remains that it is an accurate description of your actions. You are rejecting its validity.
Gideon, its okay not to be perfect. Us mortals deal with that all the time. I'm sure you'll survive.
