    Boy, I sat here all day, checking in and checking in some more. And then finally, after 13-hours I was eventually rewarded with Joanne’s newest missive and of course being relieved of my “first” status. First.

    Alas, it was not the marvelous non sequitur I had hoped it to be, but seems to have its roots in language study.

    D4Shawn is so remarkably astute! I most certainly am a subscriber to the teachings of Marcion, a devotee of Zoroaster, and a card-carrying member of the Flat Earth Society; ergo, Rocketboom has not commited any infraction of intellectual malfeasance. Nor is D4Shawn hiding behind the baleful circumstantial ad hominem. Kudos for such clear thinking D4!

    You are not religious then? You do not believe in “God”?

    Didn’t I just divulge my belief system?

    What the reader should be mindful of is that any informal fallacy becomes controversial when the party that employs a fallacy is outed for having done so, especially when that party refuses to own up their intellectual dishonesty.

    Dear Ms Diane Kohler,

    I’ve been a fan of Rocketboom since the beginning. The show has been a nice montage of local news, political satire and humor, world events, and the off beat news that regular news shows wouldn’t touch. That being said, I miss the campy humor that we all grew to love that was the staple for Rocketboom. I’m still a fan and will keep watching regardless, but it would be nice to see the show go back to its roots.

    “Didn’t I just divulge my belief system?”

    I don’t think so. I think you’re hiding behind humor (”Flat Earth Society”) the way you hide behind logic. You want everybody to think you’re an emotionless Vulcan logic machine, but personally, I don’t buy it. I think you’re human, and I think you have a personal stake in your objections.

    In my experience, when people can’t even answer a simple question, it means they have a lot of “issues”. There are things they refuse to confront (psychologically).

    And rejoinders are revealing? It’s not plausible for a person to have a “personal stake” in intellectual honesty and do so without agenda? If it were only otherwise then the exploration of fallacies would be absolutely meaningless. Rocketboom would be vindicated for merely being “human.”

    Rocketboom needs no vindication. You’re the one being disingenuous by busting her balls (not that she has any [I hope]) for reasons other than you would have us believe. Are we really supposed to believe that you’re so intellectually anal-retentive that you can go on and on forever about fallacies? I think it’s much more likely that you don’t want to face the emotions associated with religion (like how much it hurts to have your parents [who are suppose to love you] lie to/indoctrinate you).

    Yes. They are both alive and doing fine (for old people).

    Do you believe in “God”?

    I answered your first question in good faith. Answer mine (about “God”) and we can move on. Certainly you don’t expect me to answer your questions while you refuse to answer mine, right (that’s a rhetorical question [I doubt you're seriously that hipocritical/inept as a converstionlist])?

    No. It’s just a second question. You have not answered my first, and trying to talk like Yoda isn’t going to change that.

    You have declined to answer the question because you fear an undesirable repercussion for doing so. You don’t have the confidence in your perspicacity to follow a line of questioning through to its logical conclusion. Consequently you may find yourself inexorably trapped if you do answer. If you can search my soul, I can search yours.

    I have declined to answer your second question because you declined to answer my first. Even you’re smart enough to understand reciprocity. Don’t play dumb.

    Anyways, since you want me to follow converational rules that you are not willing to follow yourself (you have double standards), I would be an idiot not to terminte this conversation. Have a nice day asshole.

    Let the gentle reader note that approaching a topic stoically will normally and naturally preclude an epithetical exit. Likewise, such a tack will lessen the likelihood of succombing to the circumstantial ad hominem, the red herring, the hasty generalization, or the temptation to try to poison the well. Concordantly, I mean D4Shawn no harm.

    The rules that pleaded to be followed are those that strive to avoid logical fallacies. This is where D4Shawn failed.

    Not bad. Let me know when you finish the first chapter.

    It’s reminiscent of:

    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.”
