Nah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down.
And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. Then that would be discrediting you as a pedophile, not your argument, and in which case I apologize for picking such a touchy counter-example for you.
- stcredzero 8y agoNah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down. I was parodying you with a reference to "lobster" logic. And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. I'm going to be charitable and think you're trolling here, not hilariously lacking self-awareness.
- bduerst 8y agoThanks, I guess? That's still a "lobster" straw man, by your own characterization. Neither is it definitively poisoning the well (unless you're a pedophile); or trolling, since it was you who brought up poisoning the well, making child pornography about your character. This is an awful lot of patronizing and reading into a counter-example to avoid addressing it.
