- drKarl 11y agoVery interesting
- lmm 11y agoI'm not going to take a letter that uses silly names seriously. That's grade-school rhetoric.
- chippy 11y ago"...then they laugh at you"
- alimbada 11y agoIt's Stallman. No one should take him seriously, ever.
- amelius 11y agoAd hominem fallacy.
- xux 11y agoJust because is ad hominem, doesn't mean it's a fallacy. Sometimes a person's reputation is so bad you don't need to give any benefit of the doubt for his/her opinions.
- erikpukinskis 11y agoWhether or not you turn out to be correct has no bearing on whether your reasoning was fallacious.
- lmm 11y agoMost so-called fallacies are empirically effective (though not valid proofs in classical logic). Public statements from kooks really are false at a much higher rate than public statements from non-kooks.
- holri 11y agoWhat silly names?
- mtanski 11y agoHistory proves that revolutionaries often make bad leaders.
