An ad hominem would be if i avoided your point and instead attacked you as a person. I attacked the point itself as frivolous and years-debunked. Please... Listen... Your keyboard is suffering under the weight of false premise. Free it, please
You did not address the point at all. Nothing has been debunked. It cannot be debunked because it’s true - you are stealing something someone created, which they made in order to get paid and make a living, because you are ingesting it and not paying them.
Provide to me a copy/paste definition of "false premise" so i know you know more fallacies than "strawman" and "ad hominem". If i feel you learned something today ill call our little tete a tete a win.
I don’t need to provide you with shit. Look at you, expecting to get someone else’s effort and time for free again. Thanks for proving you’re dishonest.
Youre getting angry now i think. Whatever fruit this may have borne has withered. Last salvo and ill be finished:
I honestly want you to read about false premise, and i (selfishly) want proof that you have bettered yourself. If you don't want to (and frankly, i don't blame you) then would you at least pinky swear you'll read it later?
(Spoiler: 'false premises' don't necessarily invalidate an argument, just make the ground is on shakier. ) There's a lot to read, and a lot to learn. Here, i’ll link it. It's real. Go check it out.
Believe it or not, reading thru the definition will make you better at defending this point in the future. Youre gonna all the tools available if youre going with this stance, and that's what you want, right? You're not just coming on this forum to run your mouth, right? Your comments have purpose, yes? You will need tools to convince, and you are in dire need of a toolbox
I'm not angry. I haven't even thought about what you said before, even after you just mentioned it.
I'm not doing anything you ask me to because I know what a false premise is, I know what ad hominem is, and I know what a straw man is. You haven't actually provided any kind of argument against what I said so I know you're not being honest. Since you're not willing to be honest, there is no point in continuing discussion with you.
That’s not what ad-hominem is, “dude”. It’s still a superficial attack rather than an attack of the argument if there’s no substance to it to actually dispute the argument.
ad-hominem (adj.): (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
Why did I have to look this up for you?
Think of it this way, saying your argument is stupid is similar to saying your argument is not valid, not sound, etc. Your response should be "why is it stupid?" or what's wrong with my way of thinking?", not "stop attacking me, I'm under attack!" At the very least, don't misappropriate a logical fallacy that doesn't apply.
He clearly directed the attack at me since he wants to come into my house and smash my keyboard or whatever the fuck he said. Introducing pedantry to the mix isn't useful or helpful.
The point is that he didn't provide any counter to the argument. He's done nothing to address the actual argument and has simply made an attack. I don't need to argue the semantics of it unless they care to actually address the points I'm making.
True, if you count each and every time you stopped typing....
No, that is a bit mean and untrue. You have replied to many points, some of them even without calling the person "dishonest" or saying their point is "irreverent"
