I essentially agree. The force (if you think in this framework) that pushes you down is called weight, and it is an intrinsic and inexorable property of all matter. There is no "pulling" of any kind in physics or physical reality.
That is what they say gravity is, and what I am talking about.
I recognize that. They misspeak when they say that gravity is a force that pulls you down. They mean gravitation (which is also a pseudo-force, not a force) but are too poorly educated, scientifically illiterate, and imprecise with their words to recognize the difference :(
But that is what gravity is, and has been for thousands of years! All the way up to, and including, today! I can't help it if people don't know the origins or correct definitions of the words they are using, but I am trying to undo some of the damage whenever possible by sharing my research findings!
When people say "gravity causes things to fall", they are wrong. Gravity is the tendency for lifted things to fall when dropped - nothing more. Gravitation is the purely imaginary (and incorrect/invalid) pseudo-force that is taught/supposed to cause the phenomenon of gravity.
Our enemy wars with wordplay, which is an attack against our ability to communicate, collaborate, and to practice science - and we must fight back!
Gravity implies gravitation. Implies mass being attracted to mass. It's one and the same.
But the other guy is wrong saying there is no force acting upon you. There is a downward vector that depending where you are in the world is approximately 9.8mps2. This is a fact. It is measurable. But this is not 'gravity'. The word gravity implies an explanation as to why this vector exists.

you are not helping by calling falling gravity

You're wrong.

Your pilpull is getting worse.
