Why am I not surprised at your inability to grasp the fundamental symmetrics of ethical reasoning? Could it be that you are completely lacking in that area?

Why am I not surprised at your inability to grasp the fundamental concepts of logical argumentation? And why am I not surprised that you respond to a demonstration of your inability by yet again deflecting by way of genetic fallacy onto a matter of ethical reasoning that was never legitimately a part of the fallacious tu quoquery you now attempt to hide to begin with?

The answer, of course mac, is you've demonstrated yourself previously to indulge in and celebrate logical sloth whenever AND so long as it assists you in propping up one of your own or putting down another.

I suspect you have the capabilities to know better, but you choose not to use them and accordingly find yourself extolling not only every single argument made by the most rabid Lincoln idolaters on this forum, mac, but also the really bad arguments among them, including but not limited to your pet Tu Quoque Parrot's instintual tu quoquery.

Before one moves on to the mechanics of logical construction, they must first apply the core symmetrics of ethical reasoning to their logic.

Fairness is one such ethical principle that even a child understands, but one you Lincoln-hating cultists have selectively chosen to ignore.

Questioning the fundamental ethical underpinnings of your argument is not Tu quoque. Your squawking otherwise is lipstick on a pig.
