=============================

Your post right there (attacking my "conversion story links" post) is a plain example of the use of "fallacious, inaccurate balderdash" and "false and deceiving information".

It is a clear example of the use of the "ad hominem logical fallacy", based on blatantly false and scurrilously dishonest innuendo, as described below:

---

"Ad Hominem Fallacy" (argumentum ad hominem) - Description: Attacking the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself, when the attack on the person is completely irrelevant to the argument the person is making. It can be stated directly, or indirectly (by implication/inference/innuendo, often completely falsified [as are both of your implied references in your blatantly deceptive post]). Another ad hominem variation is "needling", which is attempting to make the other person angry, taking attention off of the argument, and perhaps even trying to make the other person look foolish, rather than honestly addressing the argument.

---

This is clearly the fallacious argument of a person losing an argument (the loser), who appears unable to formulate even one single valid, effective, rational, cogent, and coherently meaningful argument against any of their opponent's points (or against their opponent's linked Christian testimonial presentations), so they resort to posting fallacious and false innuendo.

Elsie, another clear illustrative example of that same kind of fallacious post would be if one poster were to say to another poster:

------------------------------------------------------------

"Mighty bold talk for a...

  ...man who likes to pose as a lady!"  

------------------------------------------------------------

Elsie, do you see how such a statement could possibly indicate a fallacious implication (unless, of course, the person referenced really does like to pose as a lady)?

Well; one can always claim that going on the offensive like this is a valid way to avoid Defending the words you've typed earlier...
