So here, again, you've taken a perfect opportunity to imply you are smarter than the poster when in reality you are just more adept at the language. Bully for you Myrkul, you are such a wonderful human being. (read: piece of shit).

HA, I certainly didn't feel like he was trying to be smarter or bully me. I just felt like he probably goggled a chunk of my post and found the ol' Texas Sharpshooter thingy. I suppose I could then have posted all of the logical fallacy stuff but that'd seem like one-ups-man-ship. Or I could have said that the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy is actually known as "The Clustering Illusion Fallacy" though I might look a bit egotistical myself then. But my thing was more narrow than just throwing out a ton of data or predictions in order to get one to hit so I think that he was off the mark anyway and therefore inferior to me. Or I could have shown other examples of my example...but that would have seemed defensive. Ya, yer right. That Myrkul guy was probably tryin' to look smarter. Not hard to do, really.
