I love it when complaints about fallacy descend into sophistry.

So just how long has "sophistry" been your polemical magic wand? I see it at least as far back as November 20, 2003.

There's nothing "magical" about it. Of what consequece does your being able to find an old instance where I have used the word have?

As far as it being "polemical", it may be, but no less so than the assertions it was in response to.

Is your complaint that it's not arguably an exercise in sophistry, that somebody said so, or that I said so?
