[MD] philosophology

Ian said to Horse: 
Since when was "know-nothing troll" a valid argument on MD?


Ron said to Ian:
It is not an Argument. You snipped out the argument, rather Marsha did. How about you actualy present a decent philosophical rebuttal instead of crying like a baby cause they used a mean word.



dmb says:
Right, it's not supposed to be an argument, at least not all by itself. I do mean to accurately describe the stance that that I was arguing. Did I argue that Marsha was disrupting the conversation? That's what trolls do. I did present an argument - the validity of that argument has not been challenged as far as I know. It never is. If it weren't the crybaby excuse, they'd just think of some other reason to evade the criticism. Maybe some bullshit thing about how critiques and arguments are inherently SOMist. (Unless they want to evade the issue by complaining about the lack of any valid arguments, of course. Whatever is convenient at the moment, I guess. Who cares about decency, consistency, or honesty, right? Those are probably inherently SOMist things, and we should just abandon them along with logic and definitions.)


It's not a discussion group. It's a nuthouse.
