And thank you for providing another demonstration of the ad hominem tu quoque (or "oh yeah, well you do it too") that always seems to work its way into a discussion of presuppositionalism.
The reason this is a fallacy is it's an attempt to justify one's own wrongdoing by accusing the "other side" of doing the same thing. The old saying is that "two wrongs don't make a right". Another part of the fallacy is that it's an accusation. Do we really do it too? Examples please.
