RedShadowHero Kiree Tenshi Manmade logic is still manmade logic. Critical Thinking and Debate do have a lot of valid points, but in the end critical thinking is still just an opinion, although a more intelligent opinion than most. You can't throw around a theory and state it as fact. You especially can't expect others to adhere to your opinion. When it comes down to it, the people who are best at debating only use basic critical thinking. In the end emotional arguments and how well other people like you from the second they meet you has much more to do with getting your point across than any logic or critical thinking guideline ever will. Yes this has nothing to do with being rude. Kiree Tenshi I already said I was aware that it was inappropriate. Kiree Tenshi I did apologize for it in posts as well. Kiree Tenshi In the end, you can't police the internet. You definitely won't police me. Kiree Tenshi I understand your viewpoint, but kindly take it elsewhere. Like you, I also like to debate, and I can't stand rudeness in place of what could have been a logical rebuttal. As such, I pointed out that insulting the other side after they insulted you is a fallacy, regardless of who started it. This is the point I'm making, and this is the point that you're continuing to validate by insulting me. Kiree Tenshi You aren't my mother Kiree Tenshi and I don't need your superior attitude. Kiree Tenshi Thanks. Kiree Tenshi Can you say anything that doesn't involve your beloved fallacies? Kiree Tenshi You can't put laws on words, you can put guidelines on words. As such, I will ignore the point based on the grounds that it seems purposely set up to ignore the point I put forth in order to make my point look weaker and thus easily defeated. I wish, however to point out that I did read it, but decided that it since it didn't address my point (and was a setup for a poisoning the well, since you seem to think that by attacking my character you make my general stance look weaker), I clipped it out to preserve the original element of discussion. Which, I will remind you, is that ad hominem is not an acceptable point in any debate. As such: if you don't wish to continue the discussion, then don't reply. Replies only mean to me that we haven't reached some baseline agreement/disagreement, and that (for some reason) my response is still warranted. Report me if you wish. I never used abusive language. You're singling me out and it's annoying. Why you feel the need to persist when I've already asked you to stop is beyond me. You bring up the same points repeatedly. That's circular logic. It doesn't help. If you don't get your point across, you bring up another point. You keep repeating the same 3 fallacies over and over again. As I've stated, I don't care about the fallacies. Either you hold me to some higher standard by ignoring the rude comments mad toward me, or you single me out. Either way it's rude. You may not intend it to be rude, but it's rude. Using polite words while you attempt to tell me how my attitude doesn't conform to your standards doesn't change the fact that you hold your standards higher than mine and you intend to express why my standards are inadequate. I like my standards just fine. You've given me your opinion, I've expressed my opinion on your opinion. Let it go. That would be the polite thing to do. Nobody likes it when a peer tells them what to do. Basic rule of society. I made plenty of good points in reference to logical thinking. Using a source to validate a source is also a fallacy by the way. You can't use critical thinking to show why critical thinking is valid. It doesn't work like that. If you want to continue the argument on why fallacies are absolute instead of a guideline for written and verbal discussion then you'll need to provide some other evidence that doesn't involve the reciprocation of fallacies. As to why I didn't address your point? I consider the discussion rude and I don't feel the need to continue the discussion any longer. I expressed my viewpoint, you expressed yours. There's really nothing else to talk about. You think I'm being rude, I think you're being rude. I'm willing to see past it and continue a normal conversation with you. If you don't wish to then that's your prerogative. I won't force you to speak with me. If you feel that my argument is rude and you'd like to change the subject I'll be more than happy to do so. Thanks. |
