Hey TL,

I've spent the last hour searching for a blog post that I can pick apart. I have an assignment for class where I need to find a blog post that I disagree with, and point out fallacies in their argument, like slippery slope, false dichotomy, etc. I don't know if it's just because I'm tired or what, but I can't find one to save my life. It has to be something widely recognized, not a blog one of your friends writes (or a post on TL), as well as not overly offensive.

All help is appreciated!

This one wrote about TL (three posts down) and it would be incredibly easy to pick apart. I did it but she deleted all my posts.

Torte?

@Mani
People like her made feminism the despicable extremist movement it is today. That said if you do pick it apart for a class project you might get into heated, passionate, and therefore illogical and irrational and unwinnable arguments with others.

Wow Manifesto, they treated you like complete shit from the one comment that's still there. I'm assuming there's a bunch of other comments that she deleted, like she said. It's nice to see them all backing her up while she slipped around your points. It's actually kind of painful, and it's nice that you didn't rage at how they were treating you.

Edit: hey cool 1337.

I like that the argument is that it's okay to censor stuff, and let's not call it censorship even, if it's a blog. Man reading the comments hurt. If the Geoff there was Incontrol, ouch.

Lol I don't understand how some articles ever get written. There was no content proving her argument in that one, just rambling.

Manifesto your my new hero, i wish i was there for that. I read most of them and i was surprised there wasn't like page long arguments until she said she deleted comments. Which then lead me to believe she just deleted anything she couldn't find a counter-argument to.

That site is fucking scary man....

I hate activists, whatever their cause may be, because most of them never can never see the full spectrum of things. Only their own opinion....

She was straight up pants on head retarded.

lol I just went back and found some of my quotes lol

+ Show Spoiler +

I can assure you that teamliquid doesnt approve of sexual harrasment.

Stupid people may very well be harrassed.
However this is not a gender specific principal.

Please make a note of the difference.

lol..

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

My brain is rattling around in my head from reading all those posts about "sexual harassment" and "UN Tribunals."

I love this response to Manifesto, "Let’s see. In all your comments and emails, you’ve shown absolutely no desire whatsoever to consider the possibility you are wrong. Now, why would I waste my valuable time trying to argue with people under those conditions?" Does she not understand what arguing usually is? Clearly it sure seems like she doesn't think she could possibly be wrong either.
