I've read your post five times now. It clearly states that I'm posting flamebait, but when I asked how it was flamebait you didn't answer me. Instead you're pretending as if my intire post was one link and included no discussion.
The fact that your post included more than the claim that something was a Straw Man is irrelevent given that someone's comment was only intended to address this part of your reply:someone else wrote:...so pretty much, what your saying is... If a country is poor they can do anything they want, run planes into building, have communist rule, anything, am i right? though so
StrawmanHow does pointing out that someone's argument is a logical fallacy encourage personal attacks? Why is it ok for moderators to point out logical fallacies in the same way?
If something is a logical fallacy, the counter-argument to it should be obvious. As an example, consider the above point I made. The fact that that which I described has a name - ad hominem - is irrelevant. Throwing fancy names around doesn't constitute an argument or a point, yet that's kinda what you did.
What are your thoughts on logical fallacies? Or atleast on people who are trigger happy to lable things as such.
