I downvoted this, but now I'm gonna reply to explain why. This is a veiled insult against your audience, and as such it's both a fallacy and a bad-faith argument. The rest of the sentence, too. Let's not do "I'm smarter than you all and you're all biased" here, please. It just makes the forum a shade uglier.
- ruskerdax 8y agoI actually did not intend to specifically insult the audience in this case, but I can understand why it was interpreted that way. I'll make an effort to be more civil in my future replies.
