The Ten Commandments of Logic and fallacies
1. Thou shalt not attack the person's character, but the argument (Fallacy - Ad Hominem)
2. Thou shalt not misrepresent or exaggerate a person's argument in order to make it easier to attack (Straw man fallacy).
3. Thou shalt not use small numbers to represent the all (hasty generalisation)
4. Thou shalt not argue thy position by assuming that one of its premises is true (Begging the question)
5. Thou shalt not claim that because something occurred before an event then it is the cause of that event (Fallacy Post Hoc Ergo Proctor Hoc)
6. Thou shalt not reduce the argument down to two possibilities (false dichotomy)
7. Thou shalt not argue that because of our ignorance a claim must be true or false (Ad Ignoratum)
8. Thou shalt not lay the burden of proof onto him who is questioning the claim (burden of proof reversal)
9. Thou shalt not assume that 'this' follows 'that' when there is no logical connection (Non Sequitur)
10. Thou shalt not argue that because a premise is popular. therefore it must be true (bandwagon fallacy)

Really - if you don't want to read my threads then you know what to do...
Many thanks for your restraint Colonel...
What is logic? It's a set of rules that man has defined. The rules could have been defined differently.11.Thou shall not swamp the mb with pseudo intellectual bollox
Aristotle created the system of logic that we still use today - but in order to challenge any of these commandments you must use argument. Your observation, though very relevant, does not really challenge anything.11.Thou shall not swamp the mb with pseudo intellectual bolloxI think you will find, Goslow, that logic is not really pseudo intellectual bollox.
I wasn't challenging anything11.Thou shall not swamp the mb with pseudo intellectual bolloxI think you will find, Goslow, that logic is not really pseudo intellectual bollox.Really - if you don't want to read my threads then you know what to do...
To say that it is self-explanatory (as you have done in the past) is not really helpful to someone trying to understand what you are getting at.11.Thou shall not swamp the mb with pseudo intellectual bolloxI think you will find, Goslow, that logic is not really pseudo intellectual bollox.Really - if you don't want to read my threads then you know what to do...What is logic? It's a set of rules that man has defined. The rules could have been defined differently.
I am saying that logic is determined by the rules. In that respect we define what is and isn't logical
Come on now - if you can't come up with something better then why don't you simply - well...

the rules are logical because we have defined what is logical and what isn't logical.
You have defined the parameters you are using and then using the very same parameters to define what is logical. It's circular.
and they're off..
I'm asking you to do the same...
I've never criticised you GB I've criticised your writing style. It's verbose, long winded and says very little. That's my observation. That is not ad hominem as I am not criticising you or your Internet persona.
I'm not going to spell it out for you..
I don't know your character. I have no idea what you are like. All I know about you is that you often post snippets from your university essays in response to posts made by others. That's a comment about your writing style, for the avoidance of doubt.
Next flounce .

Seems a shame
Nice enough guy just very dull.
If you have problems with my style is it not possible that this is your problem, not mine....
Interesting to note that the board appears to have found a new poster to lay in to, incessantly.

The delicate little wallflower comment was a result of you getting upset over comments made by someone else which when looked at in retrospect were nothing worth getting upset about.
I think you misunderstand my point about your university essays.
I don't have a problem with you or what you post at all. You are entitled to voice your opinion like everyone else. My comment is about your writing style and how you interact with everyone else.
I don't think people are laying in to him, just articulating their thoughts regarding what he posts and how he posts it. It's hard work at times.Next flounce .
I have had enough of people like Feedy and the Colonel - who has been known to join bandwagons or take out threads questioning my existence....Next flounce .
Honestly?Next flounce .Gwynedd Blue 1/6 on
