I like that. Very often a dissonant twinge can reveal a hidden premise or some other logical (or otherwise) fault or omission if we're paying proper a...

This comment has virtually nothing to do with what I wrote either in terms of its intention or its substance. Short enough for you? :point: :up:
November 08, 2019 at 13:08
And thanks for the push. :wink:
November 08, 2019 at 09:45
Hey thanks! It could do with a little more exemplification here and there, but I feel like it was an afternoon well-spent anyhow. It was either that o...

Thank you, oh purveyor of Bannoism and all things goatish.
November 07, 2019 at 20:13
Give a shot at clarifying it. If that doesn't work, ignore them because no matter how much of a failure these people are at argumentation, they are li...

Cheers bro', will pin it in resources.

(Thought this might be useful for the learning centre and @"Amity" asked me to do it. So, there you go.)
November 07, 2019 at 19:07
Alright, did that. I put it in the learning centre for now: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/7014/effective-argumentation
November 07, 2019 at 19:04
Well, you did a better job. I'm not sure that will please @"Wallows", but no doubt we'll find out.
November 07, 2019 at 15:18
This isn't very responsive to my post. I'm not calling for outrage, for example, I'm calling for awareness, preciseness, and diligence in the use of w...

(I might add that I'm very sympathetic to the rule of thumb of considering race realists racists, they almost always are, but collapsing the precise d...

November 07, 2019 at 13:56
No. I try to keep that stuff separate. I've started writing something along the lines suggested though, so I'll keep you posted. :up:
November 07, 2019 at 10:13
Check out all this attention. @"Banno" eat your heart out. :wink: Actually, I've started a blog on various aspects of writing on my site, including ho...
November 07, 2019 at 09:34
No, that's not what happened. Done here. And another goes on ignore.

And here's my takeaway from the local Banno Pizzeria. /uploads/resized/files/ub/hz0ojp136u82rig4.jpg

You're completely wrong on this point and @"creativesoul" is right. Separate definitions are separated by numbers in dictionaries and such, or if not,...
November 06, 2019 at 20:57
So, the proposal is Banno celeb pizza for the front page. I suppose if you put a bit more effort in to the OP, I wouldn't object. PM me your best shot...
November 06, 2019 at 20:49
Maybe pick one of his ideas and go with it.
November 06, 2019 at 20:45
Sure, but didn't know you wanted the full celebrity treatment luvvie. Lol. Look at my questions above. There's no law against using Banno's ideas and ...

That's more specifically a definition of "race realism". https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/race_realist

The fact that you are too lazy to scroll up and read is indicative of the pointlessness of dealing with you. You've earned Chrome ignore. Good luck.
November 06, 2019 at 12:36
Yeah, hence the comment. If I thought you spent all your time on the forums, I wouldn't have said that, would I? The only question in that is what rac...
November 06, 2019 at 12:27
Lol. Not since I started on philosophy forums. :nerd:
November 06, 2019 at 12:10
Look, if you don't like the decision, appeal it. I have a feeling though I'm actually one of the more indulgent of you among the mods. I reckon you're...
November 06, 2019 at 12:08
As I've tried to make clear, the move has nothing to do with the quality of @"Banno"'s philosophy. I like the old goat.
November 06, 2019 at 12:06
You made at least 4 discussions in the past 24 hours. Stop making discussions for a while and when you do, please fulfil the elements of a decent OP a...
November 06, 2019 at 11:59
A few questions: 1) Did you ask Banno if you could analyze his ideas on the front page? 2) What of substance did you contribute to your own OP? 3) Wha...
November 06, 2019 at 11:45
Work out the non-sequitur there then get back to me with a better objection.
November 06, 2019 at 11:39
Clever.

No idea what this has to do with my post. Hardly. But he's unlikely to come here and debate, so you'll have to do.
