A really well done HTML post, properly set off in paragraphs, showing that you know how to use italic and bold tags. And even a PICTURE! (Irrelevant though it is.) I’d give you a B+ for technical skills and appearance.

Contentwise, it’s a little lacking.

We can strip off the unnecessary crap and (besides the ad hominem) we’re left with really only a short sentence that means anything at all:

“That...proposition of yours has been refuted so often here on FreeRepublic...”

Well, no, actually it hasn’t. Not for those of us who don’t live in your fevered mind, anyhoo.

While we’re on the subject of handing out assignments and educating ourselves, here’s one for you, sport. Read the following link on “Logical Fallacies”, and report back which fallacy your statement represents, m’kay?

Hint: it’s not “Argumentum Ad Hominem”, although all the REST of your drivel is certainly that.

It is truly sad, ladies and gentlemen, when a fellow Freeper refuses to heed the warnings of the Prophet Jeremiah (5:21).

Good luck, Nervous Tick! May you find whatever it is you are seeking!
