So we're arguing (1) over semantics (2) on a message board, where written word is not as easy to interpret as oral, and to top it off, (3) it's coming from a guy who said English is not his first language and he's not pretending to have mastered it. I think we should just agree to stop this here.

You're the one who's arguing, I'm simply quoting what he said.  English may not be his first language, but I understood it.  Maybe some poor punctuation in there, but, you can't really read it any other way, frankly.

argue

[ahr-gyoo]

verb (used without object), argued, arguing.

1.
to present reasons for or against a thing:
He argued in favor of capital punishment.
2.

Dude, you keep doing it and you're not even realizing it. It's silly and superfluous. It's over, you can call yourself the victor already because I don't care anymore, geez.
