First thanks to Azgrey who handed me back two hours of my life by responding.
Secondly Richard you should be able to understand that when I use the term "sophist trick" it is in the specific context of a philosophical argument and I always couple it with the example I am refering to. Using it a a general sense as a generic putdown turns it into another version of poopy pants as Azgrey pointed out. It is a specific technical term in the context of an argument. One that I object to whenever one of them is used. Unfortunatley with some posters it is the inevitible end of any discussion and is my signal that civility has ceased. --- In [email protected], "WillyTex" <willy...@...> wrote: > > > > > > > You don't understand the meaning of the terms > > > > you are using. > > > > > > > Curtis demonstrates in his response that he is > > > practiced in the use of pharasaical sophistry. > > > > azgrey: > > Another EPIC FAIL by authfiend... > > > Well, I think Judy pretty much proved that Curtis > was the respondent that didn't understand the terms > he was using.
