:yawn: :up:

Really, I never would have guessed. :cool:

More Hollywooding. Which has no chance of working by the way as I regularly talk to @"T Clark" by PM. Speaking of PM, if you're going to lie about stu...

No, I didn't. That was the whole thing above. And it's silly to continue to lie about it in an attempt to create an issue between me and someone I res...

That was an obvious attempt to mischaracterize the situation. The record speaks for itself.

Here's the conversation from the mod forum: Baden: @T Clark's comments in the Shoutbox continue to be polarizing. Anyone want to add anything here? Mi...

I didn't raise anything against @"T Clark". I asked in the mod forum if anyone had anything to say as you know. And that was it. Hanover agreed immedi...

I once said in a discussion that you used homophobic-type vulgarisms, which you did because they were. I knew then and I know now you're not homophobi...

It would have been better if you had posted that directly before my post above. Please choreograph your moves properly in future or I will rip off you...

I told y'all this place was special.

You need to lay off the R. Kelly, fella. (My bad, he actually can fly.)

Let's all just chill and watch some Mr. Bean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh__g-ZZ6WA

:ok:

Yes, I remember I went haywire and accused you of threatening me. If only @"Sapientia" could have stopped me. :( No, what happened was you said someth...

North Korea's latest nuclear missile. I'm in with Kim. :zip:

:party:

Lol. I'm learning. This one's for you: :hearts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pco91kroVgQ

Aw, I meant blueblood, but you too, man, if it helps. :hearts:

Well, apart from steaming piles of attention-seeking horseshit about threats, anyone got anything interesting to say?

And don't respond to her before you respond to me. It's unseemly.

Please stop associating with @"TimeLine". You're actually getting too friendly now.

:ok:

What I was effectively doing was suggesting to Sapientia that he shouldn't bother you about your opinion. He didn't feel threatened by that and neithe...

That's your prerogative. (Damn, did it again. :fire: )

But whatever. Again, your prerogative.

The absurdity of this: being a threat of any kind is hardly worth commenting on. If anything it's supportive of the right to express an opinion.

A nut, but a loveable one. Kind of.

Good to hear, Erik. :up:

...I just did. It's not worth arguing over what adjective you or Buxte or anyone else wants to use about the place. It's your prerogative.

The forum is what it is. And this is what it is (among other things): A community of over 2,000 members. Number one on every search engine for philoso...

:up:

Yes, it wasn't a biggie. Agree there.

Might be an interesting discussion. :) Also we've veered pretty far off-topic here. Should leave this discussion for the more general issue of failed ...

An ad hom is an informal fallacy though: "In contrast to a formal fallacy, an informal fallacy originates in a reasoning error other than a flaw in th...

I watched some of Rudy's interviews. A bit bizarre and incompetent but not that unexpected from a lawyer trying to protect his client.

:pray: :up:

Well, it's not a big deal, I suppose. I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of Hanover's mouth anyhow. (Unless he's talking about Sapientia's mother)...

Whether this forum is special or not, all of you are. :hearts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_t7pTfdYts

Maybe I should clarify what I was trying to argue: 1) It's fallacious to dismiss an argument on the basis of its origin. 2) It's also fallacious to di...

Here's how I entered the conversation by the way @"frank". i.e. to say the original point of contention wasn't an ad hom.

When I say disagree, I mean as in quote one of my statements and then disagree with it.

Send him to my place, I'll sort him out. :up:

I never said it was.

No, it wasn't. :(

If you agree, great, we're done, Frank. If you disagree with something, let me know.

? That obviously fits with what I said. And: My dog usually barks on Wednesday. It is Wednesday. Therefore my dog is likely to bark. That's not fallac...

Same thing: What I said: The IDF said X and the IDF usually/often lie about X therefore X is probably/might be false (isn't fallacious). What I didn't...

Trump says X and Trump usually lies about X therefore X is false is fallacious regardless of what X is. Trump says X and Trump usually lies about X th...

That's a red herring. Another informal fallacy. This is what I said: "For example, to dismiss something Trump says as false simply on the basis that h...

Trump being a bullshitter and liar doesn't preclude him from making assertions that are true. The argument in the form I presented it is fallacious.
