Even the word argumentment, I would break down as an angry discussion, in which dose not appears to my emotion intelligent way of having a two way conversation. I hear the word argument or debate too often. and it’s not the best style for me to come here to learn and share by.
MY pack circle is made of relationship with my family along with a hand full of good friends . The business work interweavers with the personal life. I think globally and act locally and if that changes the overly religious right with reasoning all the better for all.
In informal logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is usually incorrect argumentation in reasoning resulting in a misconception. By accident or design, fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener or interlocutor (e.g. appeal to emotion), or take advantage of social relationships between people (e.g. argument from authority). Fallacious arguments are often structured using rhetorical patterns that obscure the logical argument, making fallacies more difficult to diagnose. Also, the components of the fallacy may be spread out over separate arguments.
when you use the phrases [what comes to mind, seems to you, or appears to you] to then you follow it with something totally off base of what i was saying is very frustrating. Maybe this explanation of what a fallacy is will help you understand that i am not trying to engage in a 'angry discussion'. I was using the term argument as a technical term for a fallacy.
In summary.
You always ignore or act dismissive of valid points. If you continue this behavior you have no credibility to me at least. I think others would agree.
