I'm so good at debating that all of you will wake up one morning within the next six weeks and your favourite colour will be orange - and you won't know why

I contend the following proposition: "You, the poster EternalCowabunga are debating with me." As such you must defend its negation, that you are NOT debating with me.

I don't want to derail the color exercise, but here is another topic for debate:
1. All sentences are either true or false 2. This sentence is false. 3a. (2) is a true proposition
or
3b. (2) is a false proposition
Do you think that (1) is off, in other words, that it is not true that all sentences are either true or false, or do you take issue with the commonsense reading of (2), the reading that would problematize (2) into a self-contained contradiction?

Not really. My main focus in making this thread was to amuse myself.
Carry on

4a. 2 is truly a proposition. (not conclusion)

(2) can well be taken as a proposition (that is, a premise) under the guidelines of syllogistic logic. If we make (2) a conclusion, we don't have the requisite supporting premises for it. Right? If I am still missing what you mean, please point it out.
But anyway, are you also committed to denying (1)? If not, then (2) remains either true or false, necessarily. If (2) is itself true, it contradicts its own content. If (2) is itself false, then it still contradicts its own content, by way of a double negation.
I'm not sure what you mean by "conclusion," 3a and 3b are two possible conclusions, and seemingly the only two conclusions unless we make a pretty fancy move.

Do you think that (1) is off, in other words, that it is not true that all sentences are either true or false, or do you take issue with the commonsense reading of (2), the reading that would problematize (2) into a self-contained contradiction?
Also, neither 3a. or 3b. are sentences so they aren't required by (1) to be true or false. (2) is your only sentence because it's the only one ending in punctuation.
