I like tacos.
CFJ: In the above message, I broke a pledge.
Arguments: Though I did say the word I am forbidden to say due to the
pledge, it was 1) not a public message and 2) not an action. So, FALSE
would be logical. However, the pledge does say "in any context." Does
that still make it binding, even outside of public forums?
Gratuitous:
CFJ 3737 may be relevant here. The judge found that if someone agreed to
a contract stating parties SHALL NOT breathe, then breathing would be a
regulated action just for those parties. So, maybe saying "tacos" is a
regulated action just for you.
(Whether or not saying "tacos" is a regulated action, I suspect it is at
least an action, but I'm not sure.)
We don't have the "SHALL NOT be interpreted" anymore, so I don't think
whether it's a regulated action is particularly relevant.
I think that was replaced with "A body of law does not proscribe any
action which it does not regulate."
I don't know whether the action being regulated or not matters. Maybe if
it's regulated, that mean ATMunn's attempt to say the word "tacos" using
the discussion list was unsuccessful, since the rules describe no method
for saying things other than "publishing" via a public forum.
