It's your way, or they are an idiot.

Just today I read that even ss, our most reasonable thinks that Piers is worse than Ted. That one really floored me. If the most reasonable one among you could come up with something like that, I'd say Laci has a point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-508282068291196792014-04-02T18:02:29.385+02:002014-04-02T18:02:29.385+02:00Interesting closer.

Nice Catch-22 you have there--I won't discuss the issue unless you're honest, and you can't be honest and be opposed to me...<br /><br />We don't know you or your qualifications either, other than having your word for it. Meanwhile, we DO have your writings in which you twist the truth, twist precedent, misstate case law, etc. in order to try to support your groundless interpretation of the Second Amendment.<br /><br />Even if opposed by another attorney you merely fling accusations and refuse to respond with anything but facebook quizzes.<br /><br />Sorry, Laci, but even some folks on your side of the issue can see what you are.Simon J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-10233463169588251612014-04-02T17:01:03.309+02:002014-04-02T17:01:03.309+02:00This is going to be too easy:
1. Laci insists on...This is going to be too easy:<br /><br />1. Laci insists on getting into a credentials measuring contest, rather than addressing facts and logic presented against his argument. Instead of addressing the statements, he abuses the person speaking.<br /><br />Ad hominem<br /><br />2. The claim of 2.5 million has been acknowledged as the high end of estimates by those of us on the gun rights side here. The low end is 108,000, as given by the CDC. The National Academies of Science put that low end in the hundreds of thousands. Instead of addressing the actual claim being made, Laci goes after the extreme end, since that appears easier to attack.<br /><br />Strawman<br /><br />3. Laci expresses doubt about cases where a good person shows a gun to an attacker, though he won't commit to a definitive statement on that subject, then goes on to quote an article where the good person did exactly that. The homeowner showed a gun to the man who kicked in her door.<br /><br />This is the fallacy of being just plain silly, since he denies the validity of evidence that he then uses to support his case.<br /><br />4. Laci has looked into the matter and found gun rights to be nonexistent. Are we to take his word for it?<br /><br />Faulty appeal to authority<br /><br />Or are we to accept that because he doesn't get it, he must be right?<br /><br />Fallacy of personal incredulity<br /><br />Or are we to accept what he claims because he claimed it?<br /><br />Begging the question<br /><br />5. Given the list of fallacies committed in this article, the person who we must doubt as being intellectually honest is Laci.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
