We love the truth and you delete us so you hate the truth.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You just showed the board you know JACK about logic! Sit down, pull up a chair and pay attention son. Time to learn a little logic.

First of all, does Non Sequitur sound familiar? It means, "It does not follow."

You say that since I delete you, I must hate the truth. That does not follow. I can delete you while completely loving truth. Burden of proof, which is discussed later, is on you to prove what truth is. Which brings us to the second one...

Circular Reasoning. You have the truth, I delete you, therefore I hate truth because you have the truth. Sorry, care to participate in the third part of this lesson?

Burden of Proof. You stated that we hate truth. Burden of proof, or the necessity to provide truth, is on you since you made the assertion. Also, you made a second assertion, that you have the truth. Prove it.

But instead you rely on Ad Hominems. Personal attacks. Personal attacks, ad hominems, do NOT have to be name calling, but any case where you attack the person instead of the argument.

But of course this all started out with a Red Herring. The original point of this THREAD was posts being removed. So you turn it into a slam fest trying to make Moderators, namely me, look bad by using slander. A Red Herring is where you cause a distraction from the main point to another unrelated point.

But you also took it one step further with this last post with your pseudo-evidence-circular reasoning-crap, by completing the circle and creating a Strawman. You set up a weaker argument and attacked it instead, completely drawing away from the original point, that you and Fred screwed up and got your posts removed.

Now Mr. Smarty Pants, got anything to add to that?
