Are we including Ad Hominems?  This becomes a very simple exercise if that is the case.

The quotes are in my previous post. They are from this thread. Also pretty much most times you mention a kid you are using a fallacy.
The fallacy is probably argument by analogy or Syllogistic. There are many fallacies.

What's really funny is how your quest to find just one little mistake from me causes you to say some of the most idiotic stuff.  So, now that you have claimed a few times that I have used a fallacy, please provide the quote where I did so.  I'll wait.
It's not a quest. All I have to do is read your posts and I can see they are wrong.

"My son has a Millennium Falcon.  Am I supposed to believe this thing is the actual one that flies in space?  And was part of a very mediocre movie?

'Cause that is exactly what you are saying in your post."

"So you are saying you believe an incorrect post is the same thing as a worthless post?  You have said that at least twice now.  So to you, incorrect = worthless.  Got it."

It was a text book example of one.  Nobody was arguing that your son's toy is capable of space flight, yet you choose to refute that particular point.  That's what a straw man is.


By the way, I don't want to shatter your dreams or anything, but when it comes to the Millennium Falcon, there is no "actual one that flies in space".  They are all models.  Sorry.  :-\

Yep, still don't see it.  'Argument by analogy' is not a fallacy, just so you know.  Most arguments rely on analogy.  So, you are wrong again, Discount Chemist.

Too bad for you, that's not what you said.  You said the fallacy was 'argument by analogy'.  Which is not a fallacy at all.

In case you forgot:
Quote from: sokarul on January 24, 2016, 08:39:09 PM
The fallacy is probably argument by analogy or Syllogistic.

Remember when I said you were so easy to trap?  Here is another example.  I can't believe you have not learned your lesson by now.  I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it.  So I asked you to point out where I made the fallacy (knowing I made no fallacy) thus setting the trap (baiting).  You, wanting to get that 'gotcha', quickly took the bait and climbed right into the crab pot.  And then the trap was sprung, making you look like an idiot, yet again, Discount (Crab) Chemist.

Although sokarul's title of the fallacy may be incorrect, the substance isn't. A false analogy is indeed an informal fallacy. I am not saying the fallacy was committed either way, but on its face there is a problem with argumentation.

No but you do willfully refuse obvious inferences just to try and make someone wrong, even if there is truth in what they say.  In that respect, yes, you would be a good lawyer.

That can in no way be inferred from the statement "I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it".

What the statement means, is that I research and learn before I say something.  Which, by the way, if practiced by RE'ers, would serve to keep most of you from looking so foolish all the time.

Of course it can.  If I interpret it to mean that you only ask questions whose answers lie in the set of knowledge you already possess, then you are not asking questions on matters that lie outside of your current knowledge.

Perhaps we are not concerned with looking foolish?  It appears that almost everyone who visits this site is unconcerned with appearing foolish.

You didn't actually refute anything I claimed. You really have no grasp on debate technique.

And no you would be a good lawyer.  Every time you don't address a claim you give it up.

The fallacy is probably argument by analogy or Syllogistic.

Remember when I said you were so easy to trap?  Here is another example.  I can't believe you have not learned your lesson by now.  I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it.  So I asked you to point out where I made the fallacy (knowing I made no fallacy) thus setting the trap (baiting).  You, wanting to get that 'gotcha', quickly took the bait and climbed right into the crab pot.  And then the trap was sprung, making you look like an idiot, yet again, Discount (Crab) Chemist.
You didn't actually refute anything I claimed. You really have no grasp on debate technique.

And no you would be a good lawyer.  Every time you don't address a claim you give it up.

Sounds to me like you are butt hurt.  Why does having people prove you wrong get you so mad?  We admit when you occasionally make a point.  We just wish we did not have to dredge through your pile of excrement to find that point.

Sure I did.  You claimed the fallacy was 'argument by analogy'.  Except that is not a fallacy, which you now apparently agree to, after I refuted your claim.

Lol.  Proof reading fail, yet again.
