Reply to comment by Hilarias_Glucose_Cup in Dartmouth cancels live event due to fear of protesters by Hilarias_Glucose_Cup

Your headline said Dartmouth canceled it. It didn't. Dartmouth canceling suits your narrative, the hosts doing it doesn't.

Again, it is semantics. The agreement was that they were doing the show in partnership with a student group and it was open to the public with no other restrictions. The student group was then removed as sponsor, the college restricted access to students only after tickets were sold and required an opening speech from someone with no association with the event. I believe they also said they would require all questions to be pre-screened. For all intents and purposes they forced the cancellation by adding all the changes.

Semantics is meaning. When you say it is semantics, you are saying it is meaning. Yes, the meaning of some words is correct, and the meaning of some other words is incorrect. Meanings matter. When you say it is semantics, you are acknowledging that what you said is incorrect and what the other person said is correct.
