And that was after you Poisoned the Well.
You neither know, nor care, about the truth.
I wrote a lengthy treatise on logical fallacies 20 years ago.
Here's the problem: Nothing here has risen even to the level of "debate". I'm not here "debating" anything with you, because you keep slapping yourself in the rhetorical face and/or testicles. You're failing to achieve lift-off. This is a non-starter.
What I'm saying here is that you're incapable of debate, and incapable of accepting or understanding actual criticism, and think that poisoning the well, strawmen, and ad hominems are standins for meaningful discussion.
This is not a debate. This is scorn.
If you get your ass owned by some ultra-polemic rationalist twerp, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.
I'm completely convinced that any time someone starts trying to whip out logical fallacies that they are no longer worth discussing anything with, ever.
I have never once had a discussion with a real live person who, mid conversation, shouted HOLD ON. THAT'S A NO TRUE SCOTTSMAN or other such bullshit. Never. And if they did, anyone and everyone who heard them would immediately think they've lost it. Real discussions happen with real people who just...talk about things. Share opinions. Bounce ideas off each other. Discuss facts as they see them. People who think that the only valid way to discuss is by using Pure Logic are absolutely insufferable and also completely wrong.

No, thanks. I wasn't here to make an argument. I was here to challenge people to think critically.
No one -- not your friends, not the general public here -- did so.
You're the only one that said "Hey wait a minute" and applied the first, elementary steps of rhetorical analysis to the discussion here.
Everyone else was just arguing a side for imaginary brownies.
You, at least, have the potential to do it right. You have the education and the willingness to speak the truth.
Don't let overtures of friendship blind you from reasoning to the truth.
Good luck.
Beautiful. I literally just said "you are doing an ad hominem and poisoning the well" sarcastically in reply to her dumb comment telling someone "of course you post in genzedong", and then told her to go to fallacy gulag.
It may be necessary for the moderators of /r/pigpoopballs to permanently and formally sever association with the owner or operator of a Reddit user account. When this occurs, a ban message will include such language as "We are at this time severing all association with you. Do not contact this subreddit. Do not contact the moderators of this subreddit. Do not evade this ban through the use of other accounts. Your account has been referred to Reddit administration for appropriate action."
Such severing of association is a legally enforceable notice, with legal consequences that may affect the owner or operator of a given account should they continue to interact with /r/pigpoopballs or the moderators of the subreddit in any way, and is not appealable. All interaction from the account to /r/pigpoopballs or the subreddit moderators from accounts so actioned may be escalated to the administration of Reddit, Inc. as a violation of the Content Policy, law enforcement as a violation of applicable law, and/or civil legal action. /r/pigpoopballs, collectively and severally, reserves all rights to legal action against anyone we have permanently and formally severed association with.
