Its his fault he lost his audience by starting out with a fallacy on sentence one. Would you read a wall of text if the first sentence was a fallacy? Say "Listen Sonnyboy, The bible is the word of God because it says so in the bible".....would you really waste your time reading the rest of the post or would you just dismiss the rest of the post as dribble?
If DP wants his post read in their entirety...he needs to stop introducing by saying "Listen Sonny...I'm an authority on the subject"....at least until he establishes himself as such.
No, you decided he wasn't an authority based on nothing, and then rather than letting the content of his post speak for itself, which an authority would do, and which would demonstrate knowledge of the subject at hand, decided that there was nothing worthwhile in the post... based on your presupposition which you'd made solely to be contrarian, because someone made a claim you didn't like.
No wonder nobody takes you seriously.
