I always think that when people start a comment so aggressively it’s not really worth responding. However, that aside: I’m not “fallaciously” anything!
I responded to a question that was posed “could you explain away depression with a similar argument” with a relevant piece of information.
You seem to think I’m arguing depression doesn’t exist. I am not. Forgive me if that was how it appeared, but please, for everyone’s sake, try to keep things civil.
- Rooster61 7y ago> Now could you explain away major depression using the same logic? > You can yes > You seem to think I’m arguing depression doesn’t exist. I am not. That is precisely what you were trying to do. And the response to your comment was in fact civil. Claiming that your argument is fallacious attacks your argument, not you, and is perfectly appropriate for civil discourse.

- monadgonad 7y agoI'm sorry, I didn't mean to be aggressive. As someone with ADHD and a history of depression (misdiagnosed as having bipolar disorder at one point), this is an emotive topic for me.
- saaaaaam 7y agoThat's OK - and I very much appreciate the apology. I also have ADHD and one of the most important people in my life suffers from a combination of complex mental health disorders which are sometimes absolutely crippling (and was also misdiagnosed for years), so my intent was absolutely not to say that these things don't exist.
