If everything falls to the trilemma then your argument does to....thus leaving it futile (which is what I as saying in other threads with the "futility of philosophy except for fun and mental exercise" remark).
Again, wrong and my explanation just went over your head.
If things are legitimized because of meaning and meaning is assigned to everything by everyone then everything is legitimate.
You'd have to show that everything has meaning assigned to it but if it did then yes everything would be meaningful.
1. How can you say it went over my head if your meaning is subjective to you? If meaning is subjective then meaning occurs to everyone's observations and with this contradiction considering observations do not always agree.

2. I assign meaning to "everything". It means "totality".

You assigning of meaning in the respect of stating that I am wrong is subjective on your part according to your own logic that meaning is not objective.
If meaning is assigned and meaning is relative and subjective (as you claim) then in many respects I am right.

Now you are doing the same thing you accuse me of...repeating.

Why does there have to be a point?

Reality is meaningful only to life forms/consciousness, in the absence of which the physical world is utterly meaningless.
