You're certainly not inviting any change in attitude by being an asshole. If you're trying to promote rational thinking, you're doing a piss poor job of it.
And you think that my criticizing his irrational rationale is an ad hominem fallacy (it is not) and a personal attack (which it was not either), and accuse me of being an asshole over it (thereby turning around and employing the same sort of personal attack you are whining about as you try to strawman it at me). How interesting. If you think you are promoting or using rational thinking, you're doing a piss poor job of it.

You kiddies have fun dreaming up smoke screens for your disingenuous little friend, I've got far better things to do this night than entertain your irrelevant quibbling.
Oh, I'm sure you do. That's why you're here injecting your hateful bullshit into this thread.
Casting my criticism of his rationale as "hateful bullshit". No wonder you are so enamored with his illogic.
Quote:I like how you ignorantly accuse Annik's hyperbole as being a strawman, then turn right around and commit a logical fallacy of your own.
You have demonstrated no logical fallacy here on my part, but yes you have shown a great deal of your own ignorance.

Precisely.
