Oh boy
The problem with this is that Moo basically ignores all the rebuttles I and others have raised. And when you press him on it he presents some ad hominem like "Oh well you're an SJW so I don't have to answer you".Moo said:- It's surprisingly easy to hand their asses to them if you remain calm and collected. Usually even feminists etc can occasionally raise an argument that, if not precisely true or valid, takes a bit of thought to uncover the flaw. Here, it's more like correcting a child's homework. Almost every point they make has some glaring, obvious deficiency. Pointing these out each time feels more like guiding them in how to reason than debating someone.
This is a valid argument if we're stating you're naive. Which you are.Having said that, the vast majority of responses are not "points" at all. There are at least five main types of responses, all of which are much more abundant than a counter argument:
- Claiming that their experiences are more valid than yours. Usually phrased as "confirmation bias" to try and sound scientific.
Whenever we do use an argument you ignore it.Claiming that their viewpoint is correct and yours is not, without any backing reasons or arguments (usually complemented by an insult)
This is a forum where we make fun of an autistic 30 year old. Being called autistic here is ridiculously common and it's largely bait. The fact you take any of that seriously worries me.- Making arbitrary and subjective declarations about you as an attempt to justify dismissing your reasoning without the need to actually tackle the reasoning itself. The most common one is "Autistic". Something can be declared autistic if it's worded in a calm and reasoned manner, or if they simply don't like what you said. This reveals a deep lack of understanding about the nature of Autism. Their understanding seems to be that logic and impersonal phrasing is autistic, and irrational emotion is normal. This is irrelevant to the true autistic traits such as habitual actions/OCD-like behaviour, inability to filter between sensory inputs (to focus on only the relevant), an inability to read social cues and body language etc, issues with motor coordination, and a few others.
We make fun of you because you react in a funny way. It's why you have a thread here. There are loveshies on this board that don't react with hostility and learn to laugh at themselves and they don't have lolcow threads.- Attempts to defame character. Apart from that an argument can be dismissed due to an unrelated character trait, the interesting thing is when these are simply made up. They literally make a story and then behave as though it's true.
If you ignore all of the arguments and only answer the ones you find convenient insults are inevitable. You should be aware of this. If you don't want to be insulted please go back to your Loveshy forum/hugbox.- Insults. No attempt to discuss/reason. These are at least honest in their intention, although a mob-mentality takes place due to the majority sharing the same viewpoint, which gives rise to a deluded sense of validity where an opinion is seen as more valid simply for being shared by others there.
It's because you derailed an already existing thread into one that became all about you. Now you have your own thread and you won't get "censored" here. Since this will just be a place where we catalog every stupid thing you say.- Eventually, they resort to censorship because they get frustrated due to, perhaps, a subconscious understanding that they look stupid within the context. This is rationalised via claims such as debate is off-topic. Note that debates with "lolcows" that are less calm can go on for dozens of pages without being deemed "off-topic", because they extract amusement from it, and a false sense of superiority. Thus the off-topic complaint is an excuse hiding the true reason for censorship.
