What is the right word for this?

Question

So let's say there's an argument about whether or not punching a dog is okay and I wish to participate in the argument from a stand point where I only believe it's acceptable in certain situations. That means I'm arguing from a _____ stand point? And no the dog argument did not occur it's just an example lol.

Answer 1

Hi Cliff. It sounds like you mean something along the lines of "contingent on" or "conditional". Glad no dogs were harmed in the making of this argument haha. Hope this helps.
