You guys really put too much thought into things.
This is called Slippery Slope fallacy. Just because I did one small thing doesn't mean all these other big things are true.
It would be an ad-hominem too maybe because you're trying to undermine my character to detract from the argument.
What is the argument in this thread? That people here have a tendency toward amateur arguments filled with nonsense rhetoric.
Let's remain objective. Your opinions about me tend to be subjective. My reasoning skill isn't on trial and nobody else's is either. This post is intended to help people avoid areas of discussion that are unproductive.
Is it a fact I am a narcissist? No. It's also not a fact whenever you say it to anyone else.
Dude, as I said: I knew you would read my comment.
You guys really put too much thought into things.
No, this is how I always write - much and detailled. I would not be surprised, if my average wordcount for a normal comment here on worstgen is 400 or more.
This is called Slippery Slope fallacy. Just because I did one small thing doesn't mean all these other big things are true.
Which of my statements do you mean exactly? You are too unspecific here. I wrote 455 words, with at least 5 different points I made.
It would be an ad-hominem too maybe [...].
Of course this is about you - I never tried to claim otherwise. This whole thread is about your thoughts about us worstgen users! This is from you after all and your own opinion about us, right?:
"So let's talk about something we all know deep down in our hearts and souls.
- Members of Worstgen are too inept at arguing to actually argue well.
- Arguing well involves not committing logical fallacies and providing reasoning to an argument."
[...] because you're trying to undermine my character to detract from the argument.
And your argument is...? That you are thinking that we are "[...] too inept at arguing to actually argue well."? This has everything to do with you, bro - with your character and the argument.
What is the argument in this thread?
Your opinion about us worstgen members.
That people here have a tendency toward amateur arguments filled with nonsense rhetoric.
Please, highlight the part from my comment that you find especially amateurish and explain to me why you think so. As I again have to tell you that you are not specific enough in your statement. Secondly, this is not about rhetoric, it's about the content of your messages here - especially the content that I can pick up in between the lines (point 1-5 above). At this point your rhetoric is the least I want to discuss, as it is unimportant to me.
Let's remain objective. Your opinions about me tend to be subjective.
Opinions are subjective. Didn't you know that? Otherwise they would not be called opinions but statements. And no, this thread is about your subjective view of all worstgen users. This thread was founded upon a subjective view and it will stay subjective. It would be empathically dumb for me to write "You are not as intelligent as you think you are." than to write "I think, you are not as intelligent as you think you are." as this could easily explode (seen here in this thread well enough).
My reasoning skill isn't on trial and nobody else's is either.
Yes, it is. Because you are stomping on peoples feet here and are making not many friends while doing so. You generalized everyone in worstgen and called them "too inept at arguing to actually argue well". Not to mention those many other instances I stumbled upon, while reading your comments. Take that one example of yours from the reply to Thunderbold above.
This post is intended to help people avoid areas of discussion that are unproductive.
Than first think about this: Telling someone that they are not good at something as clumsy as you did in your first comment in this thread, tells me that you do not know how to approach people. Try to be more careful next time you open such a thread. No one will follow your advice, if the first thing you throw at their heads are generalizations like: "Members of Worstgen are too inept at arguing to actually argue well".
And again, this forum is meant for people, who are sometimes not interested in "productivity". They are here, because they want to hang out with people, who are like-minded. For them, just messing around here is fun and should not be seen as productive at all. It is a hobby, not work.
