I am simply saying that I read these forums and I notice a lot of recycled canned answers, many of which are full of fallacies. Now, I am not saying that a man or woman cannot be capable of overcoming fallacies and cognitive dissonance, etc. Rather, I am just saying that it seems that these threads would be more helpful if they could be kept on the point brought up. I will identify the fallacy from now on if I feel I see them. I have actually started doing so. And as far as WLC, you can't say that he is a blatant con man and also that you're not doing an ad hominem. I don't think you have proof that he is a con man. He is actually a very smart guy that is also awesome at debates. Unfortunately that doesn't qualify is arguments as true. But it seems like the atheists he debates with stoop to levels that are unscrupulous. His debate with Krauss was a good example. Krauss displayed a partial email and left out part of the email and claimed it was just technical data. But when the full email was released it painted a different picture. In the same dialogue, he mocked WLC's use of syllogisms with one of his own. But the problem was that it more of a punch line than logical. Only proving the point that syllogisms can be illogical when misused
