Not it isn't, it's a distortion. Parallel to what you just did.Strengelove.
^ I twisted the "A" to look like an "E". That's a distortion, considering 90% of the text still exists as an unchanged entity.
So, yes, I'll distort it as well.

How do you know I didn't distort the letter?
A > E
All I did was reshape the letter. Doesn't matter if I hit a button on a keyboard. That's not a factor. Using your logic, I could say you changed it and all you did was put code surrounding the text, could I not?
Give me a break, pal.
Originally posted by Seraphim XIIIYour parroted phrase "Using your logic..." gets more and more ridiculous. Putting a color code around your username does nothing to change the reality that it says "Seraphim XIII." It's changing how it looks. Hence, distortion.

there is no 'twisting' by changing an A into an E. That is a change.

No, it's a distortion. I distorted an A to look like an E. Could you say that coloring, coding and bolding is a change because it's originally regular text?
See? Distortion is twisting part of the name.
Originally posted by Seraphim XIIIon a normal keyboard, you cannot weave any special magic that makes it so it comes up E when you press the A key. Therefore, you are not 'distorting' shit. You are pressing a different key. Hence, change.

Coloring and bolding is not changing the username. Because it still comes out saying exactly the same thing, letter-wise.

Lol.
No, coloring and bolding is distorting because you're TWISTING the username from what it originally looks like.
But, I twisted your username by changing the letter. Ztrangelove.
^ I distorted your username because it is not a full change but more of a twist. Doesn't matter how I did it. That's not a factor. It's irrelevant. Just like you putting tags around to distort mine is irrelevant.
*Sigh*
Originally posted by Seraphim XIIINo you did not, plain and simple, buy what you have said and what you have PM'ed me is that Distortion can be independent of change just as Change doesn't have to have distortion which is false. You replaced the letter or moved them around so you "changed" the name not distorted it by your own definition. By placing the color code, bolding or size you are distorting the name without changing it because the name is still the same but you are altering the server to change the way it is displayed so you are "distorting" the original username.
Lol.No, coloring and bolding is distorting because you're TWISTING the username from what it originally looks like.

Originally posted by Seraphim XIIII am aware that coloring, bolding, etc. is distorting. That's why I'm doing it. I'm playing by your rules. You, on the other hand, are not.

An example. In Japanese, the kanji for 'sun' is . The kanji for 'eye' is
"Using your logic..." to make sun into eye is just 'twisting it to add another line.' But no. You are making a completely different word. CHANGE
Pwned 😐

Self proclaimed pwnage = Arrogance, something you've claimed you have not liked about me in various threads. Hypocrite.
Watch me tear your shoddy debate into shreds, Strangelove. This time, I'm going to extra mile.

Yes, it is indeed a form of distortion.

I'm sorry, but changing a letter is considered distortion. Want me to walk you through this?
Oh look, it seems I have effectively ALTERED and TWISTED an A into an H. Distorting part of the username can count as adding another letter. Hell, replacing a Z with an S can be considered a twist, but just because it's labeled as text, it's not a distortion somehow?
Because I am pressing keys on my keyboard (Ironically, that is what you're doing to create your distortion) this concludes my distortion effectively as a change?
Seriously, do you even know what you're talking about?
ThePittman has been twisting it, right? Making the text look twisted and deformed. You've altered the color and such. I HAVE ALTERED THE TEXT. SIMPLE.

It is, actually. You're twisting it to look like a different entity. So, in effect, it is a distortion, especially when the majority of the relevant factor remains original.
Example: Ztrangelove or Saraphim Xlll. It's not a change; It's effectively a distortion.
Go big or go home.

Originally posted by Seraphim XIIIThis is an example of showing the process of changing one letter to another and if this process was being displayed then yes you did distort the letter however you one "replaced" the letter with another which doesn't fall under your definition of distortion. In your image example you used a method of manipulation to achieve your final result but hitting the key to replace one letter with another is not.

by writing 'seven' instead of 'five,' am I distorting the word? No. I am writing a different word. Could I prove using paint that you can 'distort' seven to look like five? Sure. But does that change the underlying reality that they are different words? No.
You are a moron.

How does that make change GREATER? It just gives change variety. The greater and lesser aspect is extremely subjective. Your argument is fallible to the maximum, friend. Distortion is different. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.

No, I didn't hit any keys to create that. It doesn't make a f*cking difference. Fine, you didn't distort anything and neither did Pittman because you moved a mouse around and punched keys on a keyboard to make the code to distort my username.
See? Your logic is far beyond shattered, friend.

Strawman Fallacy.
Yes, seven and five are different. You're missing the point and your analogy does not apply whatsoever.
My username, in effect, still has a majority of it's originality maintained. As Storm pointed out by distorting her name to "Stirm" and CHANGING it to "Kat".
Your post is reported. I am not a moron, especially considering you're in the wrong. Show some respect and debate properly.

Ztrangelove = Distortion
Ztrangelove = Renaming
so
Distortion = renaming
Way to go there, and you keep missing the point. I never said that Distortion is the same as Change but that Distortion is a type of change there for it fall under Change, plain and simple "my friend" "son" or what ever you want to call yourself. You reason and logic is laughable and as you like to say Strawman logic.
