No. What's happening here is that I'm pointing out that there isn't an argument. "If I define the thing you have a problem with as something you don't have a problem with, then your position vanishes!" is not an argument. It's not even a cogent statement. All he's saying is that if the disagreement that we're having didn't exist, I wouldn't have a reason to disagree with him.
That may be true, but it surely is not a justification for his position, and seeing you thoughtlessly defending it because he blew the dog- Oh, I'm sorry, I meant god whistle... but then again, there isn't a difference to you, is there?
