“There really are no true Scotsmen.”
Then I guess that it’s a good thing that this is Constitutional Conservative site and not Scotland.
Knitting A Conundrum very helpfully posted a link to the description of the fallacy. My point was very simple and straight forward, the argument that wagglebee put forward was an extreme and needless narrowing of the definition of a conservative to such a point that very few conservatives will be left on this forum. Taken to reductio ad absurdum, the group of 'true' conservatives will inevitably consist of one person. Traveling down the slippery slope, JR could at some point decide that those who disagree with his interpretation of Chaucer's 'Anelida and Arcite' be banned.
Taking a well accepted description of conservatism and building a ill considered Conservatism based on bits and pieces of the original description brings up visions of brown shirts and black boots (valid or not).
