I’ve already gone on a 20 minute rant about jewish power with two right leaning family members. They are listening. One of them said twice: “that can’t be right. Do you have a source?” And I had one handy for him. He wanted me to text him more information out of curiosity. Happy Thanksgiving!!

I get it... you're bored and want to argue about something. I'm not going to keep doing this with you. You were the one that brought up the logical fallacy. I was talking about asking for sources makes it seem like the conversation can't continue because someone supposedly of merit might have said something that points to that being untrue. You brought up the logical fallacy. Let's put aside the concept for a moment and just take the words at face value and what they mean individually in regular conversation.

Asking for sources in most cases disrupts the flow of conversation. I stated this and explained it already. I then showed a process for showing people how authority figures for given areas aren't relevant to particular discussions and mentioned that someone looking to get past, "sources please!" can do so in the ways I described.

I don't care about your need to be right. You were the only one bringing up Appeal to Authority. I only reluctantly agreed that I was pointing to people who usually do so. That doesn't mean I don't know what it means. It doesn't mean I don't recognize referencing source material and the importance of doing so.

Sperg somewhere else. We're done here.

I don't care about your need to be right.

That’s because you know you’re wrong.

Just admit that you conflated two concepts. It’s not hard. A source is NOT a person of merit.

You’re talking about two completely different things.

YOU started this argument by trying to pretend you weren’t wrong. All you had to do was say, “Oh, you’re right, there is a difference between asking for a source and appealing to authority.”

But instead you launched this retarded conversation where you try to mitigate the difference between “appealing to a person of authority,” and “Appeal to authority.”

They’re the same fucking thing and you’re a clown for being so embarrassed to admit that you misspoke.

I didn't misspeak. I was never concerned with the fallacy. I was speaking about how to respond to it.

You might think I'll relent, but you don't seem to know me very well. You've got the wrong guy. Again, we're done here. Run along and play with your toys now, bud.

BUT THE GUY WAS TALKING ABOUT REQUESTING A SOURCE AND YOU RESPONDED TALKING ABOUT APPEALS TO AUTHORITY.

Do you get it? Or are you just flat retarded?
