You can chose to constantly redefine fallacy, argument, lie or your point, so let's just call you the winner and you can define that word as you will as well.

Your snake oil won't sell. Tell you what: I will grant you that my follow-up missed "1/2" my original intent. It wasn't intentional (by my own definition, which you are willing to accept) so therefore goes down as an "error." If I were to repost using the same mistake, I would be guilty of a forced logical fallacy (=lied)

So where did you point out a logical fallacy in any Evo post? Do you think you get to skip out on my challenge because I forgot to add the "or" clause? Show me in your response where you met the Logical Fallacy 1/2 of the challenge since you have deemed it so substantive as to actually try to use it as a way out of the corner you painted yourself into.

You people make it all too easy.

Ok, although we've been through this once, I will try again because I like you.

In post 815 D makes reference to an assertion made by P in a previous post. Although never addressing the actual facts of P's argument, D attempts to falsify it by calling him a liar and added that he was arrogant and delusional. D also makes a potentially erroneous assumption that P claims to be God.

There was obviously someone on the thread that recognized this abuse, outside the posting rules of FR and logical debate. In post 854 the Mod recognized and made note of the fallacious posts.

Later in a noble act of contrition D makes a concession (later clarified as not applicable) in 1029 that she may have been a bit accusatory.

And finally, someone else must have passed along another abuse complaint since another Mod appears to recognize the adhominem had exceeded acceptable limits and issues a global smack down in 1059.

I'm sure you are aware that adhominem attacks are a logical fallacy. I know that D is aware of this fact since I've posted this to her on numerous occasions, and as documented in the first Mod slap down.
