I never specifically stated that it was for these six points, I was referring to the article as a whole. I just do not think it is productive calling someone a petulant child and a liar in terms of having a productive discourse.
Strictly speaking, it's irrelevant, as these offensive words do not render the arguments he presented invalid. That's why I asked if these 6 points (actual arguments/statements) contained fallacies.
I think the
ad hominem term is used too loosely these days, and is being applied where it really shouldn't be.
as it goes with cens0rshiiiiip ^^
I agree with you RoadTrain, I am using the term ad hominem in the more loose sense, as opposed to a more formal logical argument.
I certainly do not agree with hdbuck however, censorship is not a term that is being used to loosely today. The trend of censorship in the Bitcoin community has been concerning, at least the response from most people has been reassuring. I think that most of us here do believe in freedom and that through Bitcoin we can pursue and obtain more of that state, whatever that means.
such a vague person we got here..
using wide definitions, loosening the meaning of whatever concept you could put your twisted little historian/philospher/whatever soclialst mind onto.
the cherry on the cake being it also appears you dont know what freedom means now.. pity.
