You guys always say that. But I am saying those things in a totally
calm voice...can't you tell?
A flame is dropping bombs on people. Roughing a guy up verbally for
acting like a dumbass is the enlightened thing to do. An
unenlightened person would be all nice about it at all times. Though
I am not enlightened and never claimed to be, you MAY be falling in
to the trap that believes and promotes the idea all enlightened
people must appear to be nicey nicey all the time. That is a fallacy.
The Gita says as much, and it makes sense.

It is fun....to a point.
But the guy said, in another post here, that he trolls the internet
purely for the purpose of annoying people and this gives him a rise.
<< Buddy, please quit saying Off World doesn't know beans about logic
just because he disagrees with you. That seems unfair. And where I
come from, with a minor in philosophy, a tautology was considered an
error if you were using it as reasoning to prove something. Maybe, as
a former logic teacher, you could explain to us how and when
tautology is a good thing. >>
A tautology in logic is true under all circumstances. In logic if a
statement is not tautological, then it becomes questionable as to its
truth under all angles of inquiry. A tautololgy is the best statement
in logic to achieve. Anything else is questionable.
""A formula is valid (a tautology)... is true in all possible worlds.
A formula is said to be valid if it is valid in all models ... A
valid formula is called a tautology. Predicate Logic (or Predicate
Calculus or First-Order Logic) is a generalization of Propositional
Logic. Generalization requires the introduction of variables...A
formula that is valid is called a tautology. ""

If your argument is not tautological in its statements then it is
weaker. However, I did not use tautology as the hypotheses and
conclusion as qntpkt claimed.
What you and the others here have been taught is a tautology in
rhetoric, which is not logic, but the art of persuasion.

I think qtmpkt and yagyax are Shempgurk under other guises.
