Quote:It seems like you felt personally patronized by Arcanus' post, and so personally patronized him. I don't see why you can patronize someone for them for making you feel such and be on any kind of higher ground than said 'apologists'. Just a little thing though.
(1) Tu quoque: I was talking about HIS behaviour,not mine.
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS HIS FIRST POST WAS PATRONISING? I'll be surprised if that's true,although I admit it could be. The bragadoccio also got right up my nose. was enough for me
(2) Did I mention I also have a rather unaccepting attitude to both unsolicited advice [even from family] and that I'm skeptical of people who say "I like you BUT--" as you just did.
Of course I like to be liked by others and see it the first sign of friendship.The most important sign is accepting people as they are warts and all.I'm not very good at that,so have few friends. BUT I have NEVER said "I like you--Oh may I make a suggestion? A small thing--" --if it's small thing why mention it at all?
Quote:Tu quoque (pronounced /tuːˈkwoʊkwiː/, from Latin for "You, too" or "You, also") is a Latin term that describes a kind of logical fallacy. A tu quoque argument attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting his failure to act consistently in accordance with that position; it attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. It is considered an ad hominem argument, since it focuses on the party itself, rather than its positions.[1]
