Yes, I know all about proof by contradiction and reductio ad absurdum. But thanks for the boring refresher course.
Are you claiming that presumption is affirmative? Of course not; that would be stupid, and almost as pointless as niggling over paraphrasing.
So spare us the sophomoric pedantry and allow some leeway for rhetorical shorthand. Even Yahoo Answers knows better than to pull that crap:
...
The point is that 60% pro-bloat votes isn't anywhere near the desired, much less required, consensus. And you don't get to count the agnostic/DGAF votes as 'anti-anti-fork' as Gavin illogically did.
iCEBREAKER, your trolling tone makes you, I think, impossible to speak to. Good luck convincing anyone with your bullying, namecalling, trolling tactics.
You say I'm "impossible to speak to" yet there you are, speaking to me regardless.
You know you are full of crap when you start shamelessly contradicting your own whiny, self-pitying exaggerations.
If you can't take a little pushback, don't start with the sophomoric pedantry.
You can't support the absurd idea that presumption is affirmative, regardless of BS about "Περὶ Ἑρμηνείας."
So rather than speak to the larger point, you niggle about minutia.
Why would I care if such a nitwit cries and pouts when called out for his sophistry?
Oh what a great loss. Who ever will refresh my memory of epistemology, despite me having not forgotten one bit of it?
I think you might want to double-check your own logic teachers.
OMG HOW DARE YOU BE SUCH A RUDE TROLL! I can't speak with you, because WAAAAAAAAAAAH.
But seriously, my logic teachers are among the most qualified in the world and I with minimal effort passed their rigorous courses.
None of them would ever try to argue that presumption is affirmative, except perhaps for illustrative purposes in a remedial logic-for-poets seminar.
Cheers!
Ok, I understand. You are GOD. We are all fools. You have convinced me. Best of luck in life.
