No. ESPECIALLY using your method of distortion, the threads should definitely not be merged whatsoever.

Report me if you must, but i had to say this. [/B]
If you insist on me reporting you ( 😑 ) I shall.
I can do that too, LIS. Listen, I've given you facts, LIS. Your argument is dissipated. The fact that you had to post three different quotes is proof! I HAVE FACTS AND PROOF!
No, it doesn't contradict my argument. Did you not read what I quoted? Come back when you can debate your way out of a damned paper bag.

, i found 3 pieces of evidence to suggest they were the sameIt clearly states that alter and change have the same meaning. It also states that alter is synonymous with change, and that distortion is a change!
do you understand now? [/B]
Seriously: What the hell is wrong with you?
Wait, where does it say they have the SAME MEANING? I'm f*cking interested to hear this, considering you pulled that from THREE different meanings.
I refuted this a while ago. Ugh.
And the quote from the last post. Let's see if you learn this time:
Alteration utilizes change, okay? But the differences are obvious. An alteration is more like a modification and a minor change. Same with distortion; Minor imagery change
Originally posted by Seraphim XIIIUsing your logic you must change the username to distort it so why wouldn’t it be under the Change Username thread? You keep bring up this point and this is where you are so very, very wrong. Change doesn’t have to use distort because Change is not a description of a type of modification but distort is. I have nothing against Storm and if she wants to keep this thread going that is her right since she moderates this form but it still doesn’t change the fact that Distort is a type of change and therefore falls under that heading. If I wanted to make an animation out of a username that should also fall under that thread as well, hell with your logic I should make a Grow, Color, Shrink, Reverse, Delete, Replace first word thread because they all use change but change doesn’t have to use them.
You want these threads merged. The only way something gets merged is if it's parallel to another thread. This isn't. Storm has made that clear and I'm trying to myself.Good, I'm glad you're not saying they're the same. They aren't. This thread deserves to stand on it's own, especially with the distortion you're utilizing (Imagery Distortion); It's a completely different animal than renaming a poster, right?
Wow, way to smack your own logic in it's proverbial face.
My source comes from their actual definitions? Lol. Don't be foolish.
Distortion, Change and Alteration are three different things. Similar, but different. They are not the same because they do not mutually utilize each other, for the last f*cking time. The thread simply should not be merged (WHICH HAS BEEN MADE CLEAR) because they are DIFFERENT THINGS.
Two different definitions, two different words, two different functions ....
Distortion uses change, yes. Does Change use distortion? Nope. If they were the same, they would be mutually EXCLUSIVE.
Layman's terms? They'd be using each other. They are not.
I think I gave you too much credit on that last comment about a 3 watt light bulb, which is much too bright. 😉

Pittman, i dont know why we are wasting our time. Boycott this thread and let it die.
I know that I’m not going to change his mind (what little of it there is) I just like to keep him posting to make himself look like a fool and it gives me a good laugh. 😆

No, you cna distort it utilizing imagery, as you displayed. Why can you not see this? Seriously? I could distort a username and then change my username. An example is Mist's username. That's a perfect example.
"Change doesn’t have to use distort because Change is not a description of a type of modification but distort is."
Exactly! Thank you. You proved my point. This makes them different, by the way.
No, it doesn't. Distortion is a different animal than change. It's similar, yes, but is different enough that it apparently warrants it's own thread. You need to learn this.
Why not? Make all of those, if you wish! 🙂
The fact is: The two are different. You ever displayed that as a fact in your own damn post, which I find heavily ironic.

If you're going to debate me, do it properly. Stop arising inconsequential excuses. It doesn't help make your argument true or logical.
Originally posted by Seraphim XIIIIf I used imagery then I still have changed it, I captured the username and changed it to an image then using tools distorted the username's image to something, which is still change. If I put a piece of warped glass in front of your screen where you are looking at the username I have change the perception of the username for you. Change plan and simple is ANYTHING different, I will say this again ANYTHING different this is ANYTHING that you can think of and I mean ANYTHING that you can think of that is different then the original.

Just because something has a different definition doesn't mean that it is completely different and not similar or part of another. I could say Car and a Ford Mustang, each has a different definition but they are still similar and the Ford Mustang would be under that category of Cars.
Again you miss the point, it is not that they are different, spelled different or have different definitions but Change is a category, a heading or root word what ever you want to call it. If I look up the word Change I would find subjects like Distort, Scale and so on underneath that category because change is not a DESCRIPTION of type of change but distortion is.

So it says "Alter and Change have the same meaning"?
no, it says
Change, alter both mean to make a difference in the state or condition of a thing or to substitute another state or condition
What part of that dont you understand? I will break it down for you.
Change, alter
Here, the quote outlines the 2 words it will be referring to later.
both mean
Here, the quote states that the following definition applies to Change and Alter, as outlined above.
to make a difference in the state or condition of a thing or to substitute another state or condition
Here is the actual definition.
So, to surmise, Change and alter both mean to make a difference in the state or condition of a thing or to substitute another state or condition.
Are you mentally challenged or just wasting my time?

^ That's extremely illogical and dysfunctional. I could say "All you did was type up keys to make code." It's the same difference, do you know that?

I never disagreed with this, but stop trying to classify distortion as change, for f*cks sake. Either that or learn how to talk. Yes, that is change. A small twist or minor alteration of an original image is DISTORTION. Change usually refers to a change of a larger scale, such as your next door neighbour turning homosexual. That's a change. Something such as minor modifications and twists to a user name is a distortion. If you argue that, you're silly.
Just because something has a different definition doesn't mean that it is completely different and not similar or part of another.
I never said they held COMPLETE difference. I've made this extremely clear various times, even in some of my examples. They're still different animals. They have different purpose and meaning. They also perform differential functions. Can you not see that? Plus, the thread isn't getting merged. They are different. Try to get over it.
I could say Car and a Ford Mustang, each has a different definition but they are still similar and the Ford Mustang would be under that category of Cars.
Read previous post. 😱
Again you miss the point
That's you. You're arguing shit that has already been settled. You're missing it completely.
it is not that they are different, spelled different or have different definitions but Change is a category, a heading or root word what ever you want to call it.
Change is a category? Is this what you've resorted to? Jesus Christ.
Change is a definition, a meaning. It serves a purpose. Distortion does as well. Distortion utilizes change, but it is still different.
If I look up the word Change I would find subjects like Distort, Scale and so on underneath that category because change is not a DESCRIPTION of type of change but distortion is.
They are different because they do not utilize each other. Simple. No mutual functions makes them different by quite a bit.
Sorry, dude. You're wrong.

I'm going to add you to the list LIS. I don't want no more bickering. None! Coming from you or anyone else.
Enough is enough...this really stops right here.
