What is this topic for?

If you are just trying to revel in the bashing SM1 is taking in that thread, then that
really isn't on.

I think the community would call Enigma mistaken for starting this meaningless thread...

Enigma · 12-23-08, 08:53 PM

There is a big difference between attacking an idea and a person. Maybe you can guess which you have done here?

-S

PS. As they say, when you attack the person instead of the idea, you have already lost the argument.

I believe, every time a new thread is started, a Steed gets his wings....some where out there.

That difference being? When you attack an idea, you attack the people who follow that idea.

The difference is that attacking the man instead of the idea is a logical fallacy an ad hominem(sp?) attack i think it was called. Besides by attacking an idea you do not attack the people supporting that idea, you show their idea to be in conflict with reality and if they are rational people they get another idea more in tune with reality. Emphasis on the word rational there

Incorrect. If you were correct, then there would be no wrong ideas and no capability of discussion of those ideas.

For the same reason we allow you to post in more than one thread. Maybe we shouldn't do it, but we do.
