  3. Hey fella's

    Many of you are bumbling off again.

    When is knowledge scientific? (Science is the corpus of scientific knowledge.)
    Not much of that around here. Mostly ego tripping by ideological bigots.

    As a matter of little interest nonsense, if you've nothing to say, why do you bother saying it?

  8. This well:

    Poisoning the well is a logical fallacy where adverse information about someone is pre-emptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything he is about to say. Poisoning the well is a special case of argumentum ad hominem.

    This "argument" has the following form:

    1. Unfavorable information (be it true or false) about person A is presented.
    2. Therefore any claims person A makes will be false.

    ..."with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything he is about to say..."

    He had already said it. There was no well poisoned by myself. He had already pissed into it. That was probably the discoloration you perhaps took to be poison.

  10. Before of after his comments, the smearing intent by you was the same.

    The now poisoned well after the initial comments serve to discredit, not logically re-butt the points that were made.

    That you have been able to hold back on the ad hominem modus operandi so long is surprising to me.

    Generally the ad hominem attacks by you begin much sooner.....
