Object: ad hominem
Please remember at all times to reply to a person's *content*, and not to
who the person might be. A reply like "take your medication" helps no-one.
If you don't want to spend energy construction a reply to trolls, don't
reply. The theists make points. We need to refute those points, not make
fun of the person, or even the way the points might be worded.

No subject change at all.

Yes it would be. As I pointed out, and you snipped, the topic is the logical
fallacy of argument _ad hominem_ (a form of the fallacy of trying to change
the subject) IN GENERAL, not any particular case. Don't they teach informal
(ordinary language) logic to you Presentation Engineers? 8^)

Spot on. Septic is all alone is his "world", generally known as planet
Skeptune. Communication with the planet is spotty at best; they seem
to be using some kind of spread-spectrum tuner there, with a garbler
added in; and the transmitter often gets completely stuck, as in this

In addition, he has a couple of stuck data lines and a few of his low-order
address lines are reversed.
He did, however, invent a new form of contraception. His personality.
I hear they made a stamp with Sepic's face on it. Didn't work out, though --
everybody spit on the wrong side.
Will Rogers never met Septic.
Septic gives assholes a bad name.
And, by definition ("that which everyone except Septic whishes to discuss"
and also "that which *including* Septic is discussing") is the topic of this
conversation.

(1) the person's character is attacked
(2) the person's circumstances are noted
(3) the person does not practise what is preached

Tell us more about the attacks that you believe are occurring.


Thanks for another excellent example of the fallacy of trying to

change

the

subject!


No subject change at all.


Yes it would be. As I pointed out, and you snipped, the topic is the

logical

fallacy of argument _ad hominem_ (a form of the fallacy of trying to

change

the subject) IN GENERAL, not any particular case. Don't they teach

informal

(ordinary language) logic to you Presentation Engineers? 8^)

This is not about me, knucklehead. Why don't you stop trying to change the
subject? The topic is the logical fallacy of argument _ad hominem_ (a form
of the fallacy of trying to change the subject) IN GENERAL, not any
particular case. Don't they teach informal (ordinary language) logic to you

So, do you think that people are talking about you often? Do you
perceive this as an attack? How long have you had these feelings?

That is what Septic, aka Bullet, would like to make happen, but there
are enough who know better to keep the subject of Septic's behaviour
front and center.

Since everyone except Septic has a subject quite different from the one
Septic is trying to change things to, it is Septic who trying to change
things from the subject of the majority, in order to cover his own *****.

How is asking about what Septic is talking about construed by Septic to
be a change of the subject Se[ptic is talking about?
Only someone as mentally bent out of shape as Septic would view reality
in so warped a manner.
