And when I request brevity of you, just remember that a tl;dr post is argumentum verbosium, a bullying sort of fallacy. Also looks like there is some argumentum ad nauseam in there too.

“And when I request brevity of you, just remember that a tl;dr post is argumentum verbosium”

You like to invoke the ever-popular, atheist, anti-creationist universal response to arguments they don’t like. Just pull from a list of supposed logical fallacies and pretend that you articulated some sort of reasoned argument.

You haven’t.

Just because you prefer to operate in short catch phrases and platitudes, does not mean the world is going to bow to your demand (and it is a demand not a “request”), nor will reality alter itself to accommodate such psychosis.

If following a line of reasoning or taking in the relevant facts is too much heavy lifting then don’t bother. Just stay in the kiddie pool.

Your multiple, short replies lack substance and contribute nothing meaningful to the conversation. Instead you just resort to personal attacks. That’s ad hominem. Look that up on your logical fallacy cheat sheet, and apply it appropriately.
