Some cheese with your whine

[rick_day]

So this is about you getting tired of your ass being handed to you in discussions here, isn't it?

Instead of blaming the other person for being "Wrong™", why don't you dose your positions with human empathy, morality and reality, instead of this cold hearted rugged He-Man Individualism™ you ply as your 'political position'?

Just where did this desire to be overwhelmingly right, and not only dismissing opposition, but seeking ways to cut them in the process, as...punishment (?) for disagreeing with your point, originate?
Just who took your toys away when you were young? Bully? Adult Authority figure? Fascinating.

OMG, I didn't respond within 20 minutes when it's 3a. I can see how that would be shocking.

I think the number of people here who read Cracked is more interesting.

The title is a bit ironic.

What's the point? If you point out a fallacy they'll just deny it, even if you show them the link, or say "oh that's not what I meant" forever keeping you on that wild goose chase of what they really meant when they were actually just full of shit.

It's the fallacy of argument by fallacy.

[gunslnger]

The point would merely be to have an easy way out of arguing with an illogical person.
