64. Let's unpack yours.
IMPLICATION: While those two people have presented me with compelling arguments, I choose to ignore them, perhaps because they cannot present that argument effectively all the time. Sometimes they are unable to do it. Other times I get upset because their logic trips me up.

Nope. Please review.

IMPLICATION: I am the the free thinker here. Everyone else is like some sort of animal whose social structure is a herd.

IMPLICATION: Those who disagree with me really are not concerned about winning or moving forward teh democratic ideals that resonate with them. They are irrational people who harbor so much anger that all they are interested in is blaming or raging against something. In fact, it doesn't even matter what that something is, as long as they can rage. This clearly demonstrates why we shouldn't consider their arguments.

IMPLICATION: Sometimes I just get so tired of trying to talk sense into these people whose arguments have no basis in reason

Please refer to the thread I posted originally for a good solid example of herd behavior and unreason.

IMPLICATION: ? - I have no fucking idea how to unpack that phrase.

Ironically, it's the most important one, and relies on you knowing the context and meaning of this thread.
