What is it when you....

[imamosher]

undecided or agnostic.

The latter is almost exclusively used to refer to religious beliefs.

I'm not sure how you can "subscribe" to the side of a fence, though. I'd consider changing the wording!

verb (used with object)
1.to pledge, as by signing an agreement, to give or pay (a sum of money) as a contribution, gift, or investment: He subscribed $6,000 for the new church.
2.to give or pay in fulfillment of such a pledge.
3.to append one's signature or mark to (a document), as in approval or attestation of its contents.
4.to attest by or as by signing.
5.to append, as one's signature, at the bottom of a document or the like; sign.
6.to agree or assent to.

This is the context in which I was using the word "subscribe"

I realise that, but you're agreeing to the side of a fence?

With the info so subjective and inconclusive I feel I would be naive to subscribe to either side of the fence and therefore remain.......?

I appreciate your desire to use more interesting language, but in my personal opinion it is a little too fanciful. I think you're straying quite far from the meaning of the words

It's no concrete validation, but there is only one match for "subscribe to either side of the fence" in Google's index of a hundred or so billion web pages, and it's this one.

I was using the word subscribe to indicate that I was not on either side of the argument, How would you repeat the sentence in your own words?

I like the word subscribe in this context as it implies I am not joining "the masses" which sit on either side of "the fence" over use of "" lol


If thought about in context of subscribing to a magazine. I am not signing up to the information being handed out, much like joining/signing up to a relegion or joining/signing up to the people who preach about the non existince of God. I "subscribe" to neither

Maybe it just makes sense in my head

[Cosimo]

You remain neutral.

 

[Amleto]

you would be very slightly better off saying either side of the fence's argument. However, you are still using a colloquial metaphor where it doesn't seem appropriate when put in context with the rest of the language used.
