Behold: The masterdebater.
You really crack me up sometimes......in a really pitiful kind of way.
Like I said, keep doing you. I've been rereading the classics. I thought of you and decided to test Aristotle's statement (see below). The test started yesterday. Notice I called my shot and you proved it perfectly. lol
before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct.
Aristotle from his work Rhetoric
His theory was that some people can think rationally and some can't. When you speak rationally to them, they can't even conceive of it. So Aristotle lists this as one valid reason to engage in rhetoric, to communicate with those who are incapable of logic. I've noticed that about you. You've proven it again yesterday and tonight. Thank you for that.
(That was the repeated logical criticisms of your arguments and questions asking you to defend them that you kept ignoring and claiming didn't exist.)
You try to talk logic and rationality. You've tried many times. Every time you do, you show that it's alien to you. Any time anyone tries to engage you with it, you do just what I said you would. You do whatever you have to to deny and divert attention... lie, equivocate, move goalposts... But at the end, it's always rhetoric. You just always have to hide behind vague insults that nfer your intellectual superiority without actually having ever shown any intellectualism at all. lol
So, again... You keep doing you. You never let us down.
Thanks again.
