> Either debate or remain silent on it.
I disagree with you. I provided evidence showing that Eric wrote a dictionary of jargon including the term "hacker". I see no other reason to continue this debate because you obviously cannot click on the link to read what I provided, and I'm not going to take the time to copy and paste every detail here, which I won't force you to read anyway if you don't want to.
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.
