The instance I'm referring to is here:
His instigation isn't even ad hominem, it's a passive aggressive dismissal. Your reply doesn't serve to argue with or minimize his point, because he didn't make one there. It's just an insult. I'm not going to reply further in the thread about this because like I said it's off topic but the entire line of conversation is counterproductive and noxious in any case.
You're the only person that called it an ad hominem. Also, you're falling short to language. Just claiming something is "passive aggressive dismissal" doesn't mean anything. Claiming something is bull**** is discrediting that thing, which is making a claim. There was no argument provided, thus the fallacy is never committed since there is no form.
Also I repeat, the "ad hominem" you claim I committed is actually an cogent if we think of it from an inductive argumentative basis; it's a contingent fact.
Bah, well that's a boring response. I don't think I was trying to make any points, at least not anymore. You think too highly of me, good sir!
I already told you, I have no one left to convince of anything, if I look like I'm trying to make some grand statement, I'm not. I'm honestly just curious now. I was just asking for an elaboration on your reasoning to see if it applies to the Rights movements and whatnot, if you consider such emotionally-driven movements in the same category as the ones you described prior. I was actually just genuinely asking a question there. Which I suppose I now have my answer to.
So is anyone going to answer my Mewtwo question or what?
Your "no one left to convince rhetoric" is what I was making fun of, because it itself is something you're trying to use to convince. The sad part is that you don't care about whether you're objectively wrong, illogical, or considered an idiot by people with an actual education and academic, intellectual qualifications. You're trying to look cool in front of your sad band of geeks that aren't accepted anywhere in the first place.
And your Mewtwo question doesn't really have anything to do with my thread, but I'm curious about it too.
For someone who seems so educated, you have an insane lack of common sense.
It's sad, dood.
I mean sure, you can throw around an excessive amount of words to say something that can be said in far fewer words, but you still don't see how clearly stupid you're being.
It's clear that people would likely agree with and even PUSH your ideas to the PMBR (Especially regarding the shield dropping) if you didn't come off like a total ***-hat who thinks his opinion is made of gold.
And you seem to forget one important thing.
Nigg@, this is SmashBoards. You're in no position to "grade" me on my posts.
There's no such thing as common sense, logicians agree. "Common sense" is just the term that people with no formal understanding of logic to refer to their imaginary justification of actions as they see fit.
I never claimed that my opinions were made out of gold, nor did I ever pretend to. There's many people that know much more than I do, and that's a standard that I want to achieve before I can think my opinions are worth gold. What is true, in the other hand, is that yours are worth less than dirt. I mean, there's a reason I've been pushing you out of my thread. Everybody that's someone considers you the scum of the Earth. Just because I made a post in the boards, it doesn't mean that I asked for the contribution of the unwanted lesser forum members.
****, whether you're in college, youtube, in smashboards, etc, you're still in the real world. Whether you like to believe it or not, you don't escape the laws of logic, or physics, and if you're an idiot, you're an idiot anywhere you go, and as long as you think that you have something to say, it matters. You don't turn into this uber cool anime character in the internet where your opinion is just as good as anyone else's, but you turn into whatever you are pretending to be otherwise. There is no escape. :v
We see clearly here that there is no counter argument to my previous post just another boring insult. He's conceded that he does in fact suck and his thread is useless. Can we lock it now or will it continue to be the highlight of the Mewtwo forums?
Rofl, it's like autistic awareness day. First of all, you need to learn what an "argument" is because you seem to be in a hellbent path to prove that you're an irreparably idiot. There's actual classes for this, take them before continuing to make yourself look stupid in public. Secondly, the "another boring insult -_-" (this is probably the most common autistic attempt at a comeback I've seen) very clearly implies that (1) you have no basis for any of the premises (aka, they have been extracted from your anus), and (2) they make no sense.
Guys, seriously, I don't think any of you pretended that you knew how to do calculus before you learned it (assuming you ever did), so what makes you think you understand argumentation and logic?
