I'm not trolling. That would suggest my comments are satirical for the sake of getting a rise out of someone.

As a materialist, I understand that other materialists will know I am just a product of my environment, and thus my behaviours and actions are fully justified. I am just in an environment (WorstGen Politics Thread) that is influencing my actions. Therefore, when you think about it, anything I do, and anyone who is insulted by what I do, is both not my responsibility, and actually the fault of the individuals who made that environment in the first place.

Actually, delving DEEPER and by EXPANDING MY MIND, I can see that trolling is just a social concept, it's intangible - not real - and thus nobody could be hurt by it anyway.

Remember, if anything you do upsets you, there is no such thing as right or wrong. It's all relative. Thus, if someone's feelings ARE hurt, they should read more and LEARN.
 
So simply pointing out the contradictions and inconsistencies in someone's logic or reasoning, and then throwing it back at them in a logical way to force them into 1 of 2 positions: 1) directly address the fallacy or 2) dance around it and look ignorant.

A common response to this method is sadly #2, often with the usage of a strawman. Either by them strawmanning you or saying you strawmanned them.
I just said that because he talked about the skills reasoning and I thought he was talking about the formal fallacies that logiko was using. And I learned that because analytic philosophy
 
@Logiko You need to study analytical philosophy, dude. @Etzel Andergast What do you think?
No one need do that. But I would recommend to Logiko test the consistence of his arguments. Learn how to not commit logical leaps, avoid circularity. But it is good learn more about concepts in general. For instance what I was discussing about species, genus, extrinsic property

Won't happen. Logiko is the physical embodiment of Begging the Question/circular reasoning fallacy. He already believes that his conclusions are true, and contorts any form of evidence to fit within his own personal premises. Nothing but assumptions without proving any point.
