I actually proposed to the guy that we have a debate on a forum sometime.
Our exchange went thusly:
"why?? they ccould just be copy n pasting other ppls works n shit!! they might just be sum snot nozed 12 year old punk who dunt understand what theyre even sayin!!"
"Why is that relevant? Your opponents intelligence isn't what's up for debate. It matters what's said, not who's say-"
"NO OF COURSE IT MATTERS WHOS THE ONE SAYIN IT LIKE WTF WHAT IF THEY DONT EVENJ HAVE PIECES OF PAPER THAT TELL ME THEYRE SMART THEYRE ALL FUKKIN LIARS ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION."
"You're coming dangerously close to committing an argument from authority fallacy. Like I said, it doesn't matter who they are, it matters what they'r-"
And then he continued to raise his voice, drowning out my responses, committing fallacies left and right - and not a single reasonable thing was said by him thereafter.
Whatta cock.
I bet he doesn't even lift.
