More precisely I think you're the same fraud. At least one of you is a sock.

In looking down at those seeking safe spaces, I suspect many of us conveniently forget our own: circles of like-minded friends, munches, 12 Step meetings, church communities, country clubs, support/therapy groups, poker games, bachelor/ette parties, HOAs, and those oak-paneled dining rooms where wealthy WASP men ran the world after the ladies had withdrawn.

quote:

Good point. And presumably, in all those spaces, everybody should be ready and eager to have amongst them a raving atheist, or a neo-nazi, or a Bible-thumping anti-anything-that-isn't-straight frothing priest, a KKK member, an Islamic fundamentalist ... or get some berk invoking Voltaire and lecturing them all about how free-thinking America is about to die because, in fact, they'd rather not give such types a warm and happy welcome.

Two thoughts on safe spaces:

(a) In a university setting, I would distinguish between a classroom and a support group of self-selected students exploring a commonality and the challenges of being in a larger setting that isn't always user-friendly.

(b) In looking down at those seeking safe spaces, I suspect many of us conveniently forget our own: circles of like-minded friends, munches, 12 Step meetings, church communities, country clubs, support/therapy groups, poker games, bachelor/ette parties, HOAs, and those oak-paneled dining rooms where wealthy WASP men ran the world after the ladies had withdrawn.

While I do not shout I do use graphic profanity and vulgarisms in response to those "punkassmotherfuckers" who use assaultive language to me. If I disagree with another poster I will deliniate my disagreement with validation from reputable sources. When proved wrong I admit it and thank the poster for disabusing me of my ignorance. I have been proved wrong in less than a half dozen cases with more than 20,000 post.

On the other hand, he's always very vehement in what he says - this you can see by the way he says 'fucking' and 'shit' a lot. People who are really vehement just must be right, no?

Is it just me or is there something ironic about citing logical fallacies in an ad hominem attack?

To draw attention to the fact that Awareness is "always very vehement in what he says" is not an ad hominem attack. It is an observation of fact that describes Awareness' posting style, amply supported by the evidence of Awareness' own posts. It's more about Awareness' posting style than anything else. Peon's position is validated by a defence of accurate representation of fact. So there is no irony of the type you are suggesting.

Or alternatively, to answer your question directly, it might just be you. Only you really knows the answer to that.

Nu uh. Fact doesn't nullify the ad hominem.

Someone could attack me for my position on, say, current fashion trends by 'factually' stating 'Someone born as long ago as 19** just might know about modern fashion, yes?'

Any time an argument is addressed at a person it is almost certainly an ad hominem fallacy.

Yes, what happens is I post as Peon, then - so that the IP addresses look right - zip from the UK across the world to Australia to post within the same hour as Tweakabelle. This is possible because, being British, I have access to a Tardis.

I have to agree with Tweakabelle, old chap. You're a fruitcake.

Forget about it, Thompson. Everyone's used to the way you write. You write in bolds - me, I don't even see bolds any more when I look at your posts. And you deliberately water down your 'fuckings' by writing them as 'phoquings'. It's not the same. You take the piss out of yourself. Awareness does not - and would never do so. *Could* never do so. Awareness is much too *angry* at the *failings of everyone around him* to do that.

Awareness likes to write in as ugly a fashion as he can. He likes to repulse people. Why he does this - I'm not yet entirely sure, though I think I'm getting there. Probably, it's partly to do with the collection of horseshit theories he's put together about how 'Alphas' act. (Collected together from various bits of biology about wolves, chimps and gorillas he's seen around the Net.) Alphas *don't care* what other people think of them. He knows this.

I suspect it also has something to do with the fact that he has a strong urge to impress his wife with just how dominant he is - and his wife is reading this forum. He's a rather short, very fat, probably not at all healthy, and not highly-educated man ... so he has to *strive*. Oh god, does he have to win, albeit only on this silly forum ....

Christ. I don't get male dominants, sometimes. I feel like saying, 'Look, chill. You *don't* have to win everything, just to impress your blancmange-brained femsub. That is the short route to heart problems and an early grave - an early grave that is all too common for we males. And, for what? What the *feck* is it worth?'

This is not the first mistake you've made.
