    Once, I was called a “debate pervert” and then banned from a community with “debate pervert” given as the reason.

    Why?

    I dared to point out that a user’s comment was full of logical fallacies.

    They hate that, because there’s no way to argue back against it.

        I mean, at the limit, if they were clear in their rules that only radical leftists are allowed (which you would assume given it’s called ML - marxist leninism) it might be acceptable.

        The genocide denial and masquerading as a neutral all purpose instance isn’t though.

      Fallacy fallacy: only because it contains a fallacy (or a bunch) the argument isn’t necessarily void.

      Still stacking fallacies isn’t usually a sign of a good and or valid argument.

          Moving the goalpost fallacy. You wrote in your comment to which I replied that no argument can be made against pointing out that someone’s arguments contains fallacies, which is not true.

          I wasn’t present as you got hurt arguing on the Internet so I couldn’t anticipate that you were up against someone who’s “entire identity was based on logical fallacies” (ad hominem).

            Wow, nice straw man you got there, lol

            Also, pointing out that someone bases their entire identity around something isn’t an ad hominem. Even if it were, by your own logic, it wouldn’t make me wrong.

            Nice try though

        I don’t see you actually countering his statement, just throwing random sentences out.

        Got lots of that, too. It’s like speaking to a 4 year-old

            Holy projection, Batman. If you projected any harder, you‘d need an IMAX theater.

            Of course, the childish insults were totally expected. And, of course, you couldn’t be more wrong about me. That’s what you get when you make the foolish mistake of assuming you know strangers on the Internet.
