Vladdo,
Hilly completely forgets that he recently and joyously started each reply to my posts with a perjoritive.
cue....''starting a post with the word 'fallacyboy' is not a fallacy''.
In which Vladdo completely forgets:
1. That pejorative language and fair comment are not the same thing. “Trolling” describes the behaviour of an internet troll, namely:
“
In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.”
(Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll)
I’d add to that ignoring or lying about arguments that undo the troll, repeated use of the same fallacies, never,
ever answering a question while simultaneously demanding answers from others, almost never mounting an argument
for something (preferring instead to make poor attempts at falsifiying unwelcome arguments from others), relentless prevarication and obfuscation etc.
The rules here don’t allow us to identify trolling when it happens, but that doesn’t change the fact that your behaviour here nonetheless is precisely aligned to it.
Pejorative language on the other hand (“turdpolishing” for example – presumably your obsession with scatological terms is a function of a difficult potty training episode or similar by the way?) is just code for: “Yikes, I can’t or won’t engage with that argument because it’s too difficult or too uncomfortable for me, so instead I’ll describe it with an insulting term and hope no-one notices the difference".
2. Even if you did have a point though (and you don’t) at best all that would give you a
tu quoque – one of the various logical fallacies on which your rare attempts at argument always founder.
PS As I know you’d be concerned, can I reassure you that the side-splitting laughter I’ve been experiencing since your “scientific knowledge” catastrophe seems to have subsided now with no lasting harm done. Well, a few bruised ribs maybe but nothing permanent is seems. Just thought you'd like to know
