Quote:arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs,So, hasten forward, you have not successfully rationally contradicted my mere "belief(s)", therefore I am not yet constituted a "crank". Every time, thus far, you come at me, cranking-out fallacious argument by extension and by ad hominem, you get demolished !
I really love the 1945 movie, with Sir Charles Laughton, entitled "Captain Kidd", where, in one scene, he is in the presence of the king of England and the king's cronies, and, one of the gentlemen challenges Laughton/Kidd to a sword fight; Laughton/Kidd stands there awaiting the attack, then, he admits to the gentleman that he knows nothing of aristocratic dueling, and, therefore, the gentleman must come directly at him in attack, the gentleman dude lurches forward flailing his sword at Kidd, and, Kidd in a split second lands the swordsman directly on his ass !
If, indeed, I am a ''crank'', a pure mere assertion of my being a crank must be indubitably established via you making a directly intelligible and efficacious frontal attack whereby, you would, logically demonstrate me a crank ! I know nothing, I am a mere rustic, alike Captain Kidd, you must as Kidd said "come at me'', and, then, what makes you think I won't, once again, land you on your ass !
Indeed, I am tiring, after more than a week of constant argumentum ad hominem being relentlessly, vainly, directed against my person. How long, in this shadowy cave, does my Socratic responsibility to the barbaric cave dwellers extend ? How much more of this horrid bullshit can one take !? Should one take ? Would it be best, or, a mistake to crawl back up out of here, now ?! Negatio.
