I'm disappointed that you attempt to exploit autism in your efforts to attack others. I'll say that. Other than that, I'll leave this attempted little dialogue on this thread as a great demonstration of what I'm talking about in the OP.
Thanks.
I, on the other hand, am not disappointed that you endlessly characterize attacks on your specious, vacuous reasoning as a personal attack. I am not disappointed because I was not expecting otherwise.
Nor am I disappointed that you characterize my comparison of what you try to pass off as argument to intentional autism as "exploiting autism." Again, I am not disappointed because I was not expected otherwise.

I was interested in seeing what your argument in response to Darth would be. It's too bad he threw in the autism insult which put you off.
Likewise, it is too bad that Stemelbow's posts habitually beg the comparison.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior.
But Marg, as one of the more sanctimonious board nannies, you are welcome to point out anywhere on the board where I have made fun of a real autistic person or belittled people having to deal with it, as opposed to my references to "de facto" and "intentional" autism when commenting on the way Stemelbow tries to present an argument.

oh brother. YOu are clearly exploiting the disorder in your elementary attacks on another poster. If your so bent on having to discuss the other poster, then please at least do so without having to pull disorders or other people into it.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.

Dear idiot:
I am comparing YOUR ARGUMENTS to autism.
Talking about the inanity and vapidness of YOUR ARGUMENTS is not a personal attack.
The reverse ad hominem---trying to turn critique of your fatuous reasoning into an attack on you---is not responsive to the critique.
People on this board constantly talk about their interlocutor's supposed anxieties in a way that means they are suggesting someone is neurotic. Neurosis is a serious mental health issue, which is classified by the DSM-IV. As soon as there is a big outcry on this board about people exploiting neurosis, your sudden interest in selective moralizing will be impressive.

Darth, the point is not whether you've made fun of any autistic person, you know that's not the point. I understand where Stem is coming from, it's not like you are the only one who resorts to attacks. It's just that you are simply another one. And yes your attack isn't huge, but you know it irritates him just the same.
Frankly I think you are the best arguing on this board..because you make really valid well reasoning points..you don't resort to lots of rhetoric. You often fill your posts with a wealth of information. So it's just a shame that Stem didn't respond..but I understand where he's coming from.
Darth anytime anyone argues with the intent of preventing an argument progressing it is fallacious argumentation. Doesn't matter whether you label it technically ad hom or not.
