In the REAL world where I live, though — here among people who can observe, think, and count — it’s not only right, but obvious.

"Oh, my goodness, Nervous Tick, where should I start? On second thought, I'm not going to start. That ludicrous, inane, moronic proposition of yours has been refuted so often here on FreeRepublic, I'll give you an assignment: go back, OK? Look through past posts; and, try to educate yourself. Open your mind, Nervous Tick! Learn things! Be educated! Expand your horizons!"

[Nervous Tick]

A really well done HTML post, properly set off in paragraphs, showing that you know how to use italic and bold tags. And even a PICTURE! (Irrelevant though it is.) I’d give you a B+ for technical skills and appearance.

Contentwise, it’s a little lacking.

We can strip off the unnecessary crap and (besides the ad hominem) we’re left with really only a short sentence that means anything at all:

“That...proposition of yours has been refuted so often here on FreeRepublic...”

Well, no, actually it hasn’t. Not for those of us who don’t live in your fevered mind, anyhoo.

While we’re on the subject of handing out assignments and educating ourselves, here’s one for you, sport. Read the following link on “Logical Fallacies”, and report back which fallacy your statement represents, m’kay?

Hint: it’s not “Argumentum Ad Hominem”, although all the REST of your drivel is certainly that.
