Yelling “logical fallacy” at people and then expressing your opinion isn’t as effective a rhetorical device as you seem to think.

Yelling “logical fallacy” at people and then expressing your opinion isn’t as effective a rhetorical device as you seem to think.
- mankash666 9y agoWho's yelling? Are you shadow banning the use of the term "logical fallacy"? Who made you the decorum doctor of HN comments. I suggest you make a point other than "I dislike your style"
- IntronExon 9y agoI did make my point. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16441154 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16441154 Then I commented on your style, and your response is a bit mad. If your goal is to ensure that people simply downvote and move on, then keep it up, I can’t and won’t stop you. If you’re really trying to discuss issues with people you might want to work on your style.
- mankash666 9y agoI could care less about votes and karma. If it takes sugar coating my natural style to be heard, I'd rather pass. Additionally, anyone worth their salt will engage with someone making a valid point, regardless of style. If you can't handle styles that aren't in your perceived silo of propriety, maybe the problem lies with you, because the world is FULL of diverse styles I've had plenty of my comments up-voted despite my "style". If you don't like my style, walk away, or down-vote. Dishing out free advice is presumptuous, pompous, self-aggrandizing, etc.. I DON'T seek your approval or that of anyone, as simple as that. Lastly, I dislike, nay truly abhor your style. But I didn't preach you on it. Nor did it figure in my points. Stay on topic, don't make things personal. Cheers!
