That you contradict yourself, dodge questions, go on irrelevant tangents and repeatedly make baseless assertions which you consistently avoid to substantiate doesn't mean that I don't understand the terms. When you're unable to explain A you move onto B and when you're unable to explain B you move onto C ... all the way through to Z. I'm not prepared to play that sort of game.
I *do* remember what I previously said but I didn't say what you said I said which is exactly why you can't substantiate your claims that I've said things that I haven't said. You're unable to substantiate that I said X because I didn't say X. The fact you wish to misrepresent what I said doesn't mean that I don't remember what I said. I just didn't say what you said I said. You keep making non-sequiturs and saying A implies B when it doesn't. I'm the one being consistent here and you're the one who just makes one baseless assertion of contradictory nonsense and then moves onto the next one when I try to get you to address it.
And with regards to the examples that you've supposedly given: I've already pointed out why your examples are erroneous but rather than addressing that you just move onto something else.

Ethical nihilism cannot say that anything is good or bad in a moral sense or that anybody ought to do anything in a moral sense. That's the whole point of ethical nihilism. It's absurd that you claim that I don't understand any of the terms when you can't even understand the basic concept of ethical nihilism.

And this is yet again another example of a misrepresentation of my position. My whole contention is that nihilism doesn't express anything normative. You keep insisting that I am saying the exact opposite of what I've said all along and pretending that I agree with your contradictory and baseless nonsense when I've opposed it throughout this whole discussion. You've done this repeatedly.
Until you can learn to correctly address somebody else's position then nobody should bother discussing anything with you. Now that is me making a normative statement.
