It seems to be running rampant upon quite a few forums. EDIT: Oh and KamMoye I'm still waiting for you to respond to my PMs. If you're just going to be a troll, then that's cool with me, and completely expected, seeing as how you respond in such stupid ways. Just don't expect to challenge my concept of psychology without a proper response. | ||

Absurdity. Because all you're doing is calling other people stupid. How about you actually offer a valid response, rather than guerrilla text? Anyway, I'll just write you off as a troll or a mindless psychology freshman: equally useless. Enjoy your short stay at TL. If you want a real argument, maybe you should respond on here or PMs, other than that, no use for me to waste my energy on you. | ||

Someone said that video games cause people to throw acid in other people's faces and murder animals for fun (without any substantial proof), to which people responded by calling this argument what it is - idiotic. I fail to see how dismissing intellectually dishonest and, quite frankly, offensive arguments can be considered "impropriety". But then again, what do I know.

From my perspective, at least. You are entitled to disagree. I am entitled to agree to disagree and leave it at that. | ||

Absurdity. Because I have serious doubts that playing video games turns people into lying, animal abusing, wife beating, cheating parasitic people, and if you really want to argue that it does you're going to have to show some evidence. | ||

I am entitled to agree to disagree and leave it at that. True, I am definitely interpreting your words through my own perspective, which does mask the original meaning. However, the fact that you have PMd me 2 or 3 times by completely dodging all of my questions, I will just continue to write you off as a troll. Talk to me when you grow up a little bit  Or at least after you take a few more psychology courses. + Show Spoiler + On August 26 2012 12:57 Dakkas wrote: Your first post in this thread was heavily implying we should be showing compassion to luxury.

That just isn't a strawman. No, that's really what Terranist said. It seems like an honest representation of his position to me. On August 26 2012 04:33 Terranist wrote: you people don't like to hear it, but these are the dangers of socially depriving young adults and making them play a violent game for 12 hours a day during a crucial development stage of life. No, ad hominem is a fallacy of relevance. That means you introduce some irrelevant information about people into the discussion to act like it makes your conclusion correct. But in this case, it was taken as a foregone conclusion that video games have nothing to do with what Luxury has done. The seemingly dyslogistic "idiocy" is actually attempting to answer a different question. On August 26 2012 11:28 bo1b wrote: Why are people even arguing that a video game made luxury a sociopath? So idiocy is very relevant to the question of what would motivate someone to say that. I am in awe at how emotionally charged and intellectually misplaced these contributions are. No kidding, we should all hold ourselves to your standards of meticulous posting. On August 26 2012 12:52 KamMoye wrote: Why do I need to specify an argument to call out impropriety? Fallacies are explicitly in the realm of logos. If you're complaining about fallacious argumentation when you didn't even have an argument, you've committed a category error for the gratification of your own ego (presumably everyone will be impressed by your apparently refuting everyone with one word).
