I linked to wikipedia, because for all it's many faults it can occasionally satisfy brevity. Nonetheless, since I clearly didn't deliver the point, I'll elaborate.Thama wrote:Hirota wrote:Problem is, your entire argument is predicated on a Genetic Fallacy. And being a obnoxious twit, of course.
I can link wikipedia articles too. For instance, your insult and your own fallacy.
The genetic fallacy is when you fail to address the claim on it's merit on it's own, transferring your perspective (a perspective that by no means has been proven to be true) of the author onto the claim itself. Don't take it personally, lots of people do it.
And as for getting your panties in a twist about you being called an obnoxious twit, it's considerably more mild than calling everyone you disagree with idiots, but I don't expect you to possess sufficient self-awareness to parse that.
