Perhaps a refresher...
Special Pleading: Applying standards, principles, and/or rules to other people or circumstances, while making oneself or certain circumstances exempt from the same critical criteria, without providing adequate justification. Special pleading is often a result of strong emotional beliefs that interfere with reason.
The only circumstances that were similar in this situation were that something was written. Everything else was different. So, we have one similarity and hundreds of dissimilarities. Therefore the circumstance were not even close to being similar and therefore no special pleading can occur.
These conversations always remind me of the movie "Liar Liar" with Jim Carrey
Quote:Fletcher: [while hearing Mrs. Cole having sex on an audio cassette]They have to ignore or wipe away, so much intersecting support within history, and don't have very good reasons to do so.
Fletcher: Oh, come on! Your honor, how can it be proved that the male voice on that tape is not Mr. Cole himself?
Samantha: [voice on tape] You are such a better lover than my husband!
Fletcher: Your honor, I object!
Judge Stevens: And why is that, Mr. Reede?
Fletcher: It's devastating to my case!
Judge Stevens: Overruled.
Fletcher: Good call!
Yeah, ignore is working pretty good for me just like I would for any other conspiracy theory.
