- edgyquant 4y agoCool. That’s irrelevant since you accused the OP of the slippery slope fallacy. That accusation, and the stating that all slippery slopes need extreme proof, is known as “the slippery slope fallacy” fallacy
- prvit 4y agoNo, I did not accuse anyone of any fallacy. You should learn to read and understand English before making yourself look like a complete idiot by autistically screeching about fallacies. I’ll hold your hand: Not all slippery slopes are fallacious, I never suggested that the one presented earlier was. I suggested that without supporting evidence it’s a weak argument, that’s strictly different than calling it an outright fallacy.
- edgyquant 4y agoThere are easier ways to admit you’re wrong than ad hominems. Cheers
- prvit 4y ago>There are easier ways to admit you’re wrong than ad hominems. Cheers You’re just demonstrating that you don’t even know what ad hominem means. “edgyquant is an idiot; therefore he is wrong” is an example of an ad hominem. “edgyquant is an idiot” is merely a statement of fact How does it feel being so pathetic that you have to substitute “insult” with “ad hominem” in a desperate attempt to seem smart? The world will be a better place once you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, hopefully that day arrives soon.
