Harassment for new healers? How do i block?

Yes, well done you have managed to illustrate a very basic concept of what would be considered a semantic. Now allow me to elaborate for you...

Semantics is the study concerned with deriving meaning in language, how words, phrases, and sentences convey meaning, now, if this implication is lost on you -- The original poster is making a request for advice on how to report people and not a factual claim. Now, you have been playing with semantics here as your sole argument to their post is they were making a claim (Which involves making a 'factual' statement or opinion and not one seeking advice on how to report someone) - Which they were not. It would be playing with semantics to say there were trying to assert a claim.

If you struggle to comprehend that "Players are harassing new healers" - Is not a claim in the literal sense then the onus is on your reading comprehension more than anything.

Good job using copy and paste from google.

This just seems silly. "Players are harassing new healers" is, in fact, a literal claim. It does not matter that they were asking how to go about reporting. That's irrelevant to the point you are trying to push. The fact that them saying they want to report people for harassing new healers is them making a claim that someone is harassing healers for being new. What would be semantics is whether they mean harassing healers for simply being new or harassing new healers who don't fully understand their role.

But to say that someone didn't make a claim when they did is not semantics. I'm not sure how that's so hard to understand, but then again, people always surprise me with the amount of mental gynamstics they manage to pull.

No, it is just a coherently written definition, but hey, you do you with this one.

Well done in highlighting the point, however... Your quote "Players are harassing new healers" - Is not equivalent nor the same as the post made by the original author.

It's ironic that people are lumping on context matters whilst subsequently stripping context from the OP for asking for advice on how to report. The only one doing mental gymnastics here is you.
