IBDaMann, you have no credibility related to an evaluation of "formal logic" when your reflex is to resort to ad hominem quips.
Sorry, not only do I have credibility in formal logic but I am an expert on the subject. In fact, I am by far this site's resident expert. There is no one on this site that can come anywhere close to my level of logical acumen.
Wait, let me guess, ... you think you are somehow more proficient than I am? You, who doesn't even grasp the concept of subsets, are going to question me? Too funny!
That isn't an argument. That's troll behavior. Be better.
Just so you know, the word "troll" is the giveaway word that you are a Leftist snowflake in desperate need of a safe space. All you had to say was "Yes, I am a mindless Leftist who desperately needs to control what others post." That's all you had to write. Unfortunately, you can't communicate very well.
Have you tried any online safe spaces that are more to your level of simpleminded? Have you tried YAP? I've been banned there so you'd be totally safe.
Next, I believe you have shared fewer than five posts with me.
Shared? Look, thus far you have not written anything worth reading. You have not positively contributed to this board as far as I can tell. Clearly you think that you are so magnificent that others should somehow be thankful that you are wasting their bandwidth. I have some bad news for you.
I have never initiated a contact with you, yet you have posted at me multiple times.
Deal with it, snowflake. If you simply cannot abide a post on this board then go post on YAP. You'll be totally safe there. The owner will even ban conservatives that you don't like. I suggest you leave the dangerous JPP and post on the nice, safe YAP starting right now.
If you would like to have a political, philosophical, or other productive discussion (even a disagreement), I will happily participate.
Bullshit. You already have a litany of excuses for EVADING any sort of productive conversation. Do you think I'm interested in wasting my time?
If, by any chance you ARE interested in actually discussing something with someone who holds a TERRIFYING different viewpoint then sure, I'll discuss with you all day. Nobody honest has ever had a problem discussing with me. Only the dishonest Leftist snowflakes aren't able to face an opposing viewpoint. You have made it clear that mathematics terrifies you as being "totally alien." Math is my thing. We're probably never going to see eye to eye.
That's why I created an account. If you would rather lob lazy insults at strangers on the internet, then you picked the wrong person.
No, I picked entirely the right person to lob insults. You probably believe in Santa Claus and
Greenhouse Effect. You deserve to be mocked by rational adults.
I didn't ask, "What is Q?" I asked, "Who's Q?"
I stand corrected.
By any standard, those are very short sentences that can be easily comprehended[/auote]
Sure. So can "Air is good." Understandability wasn't the point. You wasting bandwidth was the point and I am not surprised that it flew right over your head despite being clearly stated.
Your bizarre devolution about racists, homophobes, misogynists, and the KKK is a non sequitur and not my problem.
Your problem is that you cannot follow a logical line of reasoning. This goes back to your inability to process formal logic. I'm not sure anyone can help you.
In fact, I never used any of those words.
Right. You don't know how to process synonyms. You have difficulty with paraphrasing. Got it.
I will admit that your tactics are less than neutral to me.
Too funny! Complete sentences are now a "tactic." In what grade are you?
They dissuade me from believing that dialogue with you could be fruitful.
Too funny! Dialogue with you is almost certain to be unfruitful. You are a moron Leftist. If you were to effectively argue a salient point it would be a complete shock.
Whatever you think about my political persuasion, you're wrong.
You're a mindless moron Leftist who is shit-poor at math. Convince me I'm wrong. You can't, can you?
You (among many other Americans)
Are you a Brit? It would certainly explain your lack of English proficiency and might explain why you don't grasp what you read.
