Yes, good, we're all very impressed that you know that word. They literally are pigeonholing you... and what's your point?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

they're not engaging with what I'm saying.

[–] eatmyass@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

lol what are you saying? That you enjoy arguing with vegans?

[–] 14specks@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Please don't feed obvious trolls

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes.

[–] eatmyass@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

uhh...so how would you have preferred to have been engaged with?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they could have actually said something on the topic instead of trying to cast me as some kind of malicious actor. or they could have just moved along instead of attacking me personally.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You proudly admitted to being some kind of malicious actor

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

arguing with people isn't malicious.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What you're saying doesn't deserve engagement, you deserve nothing but mockery and vitriol

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

this is just posturing and rhetoric. i don't think it's appropriate for this community.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

is this an appeal to ridicule?

[–] The_Grinch@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

You are pigeonholing my utterances as logical fallacies. debate-me-debate-me You are committing fallacy fallacy.

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago
