I’m sorry, but this is not a difficult definition here for even a second grader. It’s very short, straightforward and direct. We all know damn well what deceive actually means, and that organized lying to hundreds of people very very obviously is a deceitfu act and that Memory Lane intended to do this as hosting a fraudulent auction to define values to pay off the consigners was the whole point of the lies. For the first 10 pages we debated whether that was right or wrong, now we’re in the absurdity of pretending we can’t figure out what deceive is because to acknowledge that would be harder to claim Memory Lane did the right thing.
This is your argument? Come on. This is how we should all know this is wrong, the defenses rely on denying basic words or bizarre appeals to oneself and popularity. I’m disappointed, there’s an argument to be had here that doesn’t rely on disingenuously denying the basic facts and the English language. .
