if you just started reading logic 101 |
|
or if you just stumbled onto an intro to philosophy textbook, please try to understand what you are reading before you start throwing around your half-understood ideas and stillborn thoughts.
calling out "logical fallacy" every 2 seconds without clearly explicating what you are saying makes any person look like a dilletante.
that is all.

2. I thought DU wouldn't have flame wars over such a serious issue |
|
as a hurricane. This could have been discussed rationally without name-calling, etc., but it wasn't. :(

3. it seems that certain unnamed elements |
|
that really don't even try to hide their true colors seem to take great delight in anything where they can smear or take potshots at people around here.

4. And making statements like this to the general DU population |
|
with no context isn't likely to be effective. Why don't you respond to the individual(s) who have these alleged comprehension and communication problems? That would seem more logical to me.

5. it isn't offensive at all |
|
actually, it is very good advice.

13. Again...who said it was offensive? |
|
It's not a matter of skin thickness, it's a matter of defending yourself against things that you haven't been accused of.

19. Well, you said "it isn't offensive at all" and I looked over the thread |
|
and nobody in this particular thread has accused you of being offensive...maybe in another thread that I missed?
At any rate, the advice above about directing your concerns to the person making that accusations seems sound.
I do agree that forum communication can be a dicey thing.

11. Apparently, I have no idea what you were talking about in your OP |
|
and I don't think I want to. I feel like staying away from flame wars today.
Peace.
