Fantastic list of links, RobRoy. Much bigger than my bookmark file. Good on you!

You’ll get your ass handed to you via various forms of “ad-hominem” “ad-populum” and various other logical fallacy attacks.

I don't consider that to even be touched much less having my ass handed to me. Those type of responses are meaningless in regard to the subject matter. They only offer a bit of a psychological profile on the one who dishes them out.

Yep. My “ass handed to you” remark was a bit of tongue in cheek. That thread I created on that site turned out to be huge, so I don’t expect you to read it. But the arrogant ignorance was really on display there. Those guys that hung on to the end just would not listen to reason, no matter what. However, many of the warmers did finally back off, either overtly admitting it may be a fraud, or they just disappeared.

The ones hanging on ‘till the end posted so much dribble for future embarrassment that it was actually laughable. To be fair, many of them are young and will mature. I’m hoping the thread was a part of that maturing process. Still, many of the ones that held out the longest are “gray ponytails”.

Which is why I include the quote in my sig: With age comes wisdom. But sometimes age comes alone.
