    Who’s Angela? And why is this now suddenly about the holocaust?

    Seriously… take away your false equations and you really have nothing. You probably need to learn how to argue a point if you’re going to barge into discussions in defense of things you seem to have no defense for, or wasn’t even asked for to begin with.

    And since you are here for no other reason than to argue- that means you have no dog in this race, and therefore- I’m disqualifying you from it.

    And thanks for correcting me on the tag. I’ve updated it to just: “Blowhard.”

    Now. I’ll unblock you when I feel you’ve had enough time to understand the original point I was making, and how you’ve done nothing but prove it this entire time.

      This isn’t about the holocaust. It’s about your faulty reasoning. I’m just using the holocaust as an easy example of something that is widely considered objectionable in order to demonstrate just how flawed your reasoning is. Angela is just a random value in place of the variable “person Y”.

      I have made absolutely no changes to the reasoning within the statements. It’s all just the same flawed reasoning of yours. If the reasoning were valid, then true premises would always result in true conclusions. This clearly didn’t happen, despite the fact that my alternate premises (nazis legalised holocaust) were true. This is deductive argumentation 101.

      I do have a dog in the race. I care about the subject. I just haven’t talked about it because you’re too much fun. The meat industry is a significant contributor to the climate and eco crisis. As a person living on the same planet and reliant on the stability of the same atmospheric and ecological systems, it is a concern of mine that people eat meat and other animal products so much. I’ve managed to eliminate most animal products from my diet, but not all of them. But regardless of all that, why shouldn’t I be allowed to criticise someone for not being logical?

      Sure, block me if you want, but I still have a feeling that you’ll come to read this, just as you continued the discussion after three times claiming to end it, perhaps hoping that I had slipped up in my response. Who knows, maybe this time you get lucky?
