clearly an argument can be made otherwise


And that would be an awful argument.

The rules define spam as follows. I'll bold the parts that are relevant for those that are challenged and finding relevant points:

Warlight defines "Spam" as (i) electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient, (ii) messages posted to forum and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, or posted in excessive volume;


When you post something once, get downvoted, then post something again, get downvoted you now have two indications that what you are posting is not relevant to the forums. Creating a third identical post proves that you are incapable of discerning for yourself that you are posting excessively, and thus you needed to get a warning.

You shall be respectful to other players at all times.

Do you think you follow the spirit of that with me?

Clearly you do not. You are a huge raging jerk to me at all times.

Maybe you should fucking stop that. I never seek you out dude. Never. It's always you come after me.

Put your boner in your pants and leave me alone and we wont have any problems.

@Wally Balls,

Can you tell me what logical argument you are using to prove your point that I should leave you alone?

Is it that I am logically schooling you in your "introduction to logic" forum thread, which by the way, is a public posting which begs people from the public to post on this?

That is a red herring, you did not address my argument and started babbling incoherent nonsense instead.

This logic thing really isn't for you, I'd stick to weak trolling and obsessing over other men on the internet.

Lots of people on Warlight like Trump. Trump's supporters are on average less educated than Clinton supporters. Therefore the Warlighters who like Trump are not as smart as me.

Speak to Me
"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."

Breathe (In the Air)
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

On The Run
"Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me, HaHaHaaaaaa!"

Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say...

Breathe (Reprise)
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

The Great Gig in the Sky
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."

Money
Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right.
That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2.
He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely,
After I was yelling and screaming and
Telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

Us and Them
Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.

Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
But in the end it's only round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cos I would've given him a
Thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion,
But really...I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Any Colour You Like
[Instrumental]

Brain Damage
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"

Eclipse
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.


"There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark."

it's confusing to me why warlight warns/suspends people for things but then leaves what they did alone.

how do you give me a warning for spam and not delete this thread? lol

that doesn't send the right signals. people should know when a rule was enforced on a post, so they know not to do that.

* Lots of people on Warlight like Trump. (I would say in the Off-Topic forum) -- YES
* Trump's supporters are on average less educated than Clinton supporters. -- YES
* Therefore the Warlighters who like Trump are not as smart as me. -- WAT?

I never said the last one.

So this is a strawman.

I've had dogs smarter than a lot of the Trump supporters in this forum but that they are Trump supporters is not the reason, their intelligence is the reason. And it's on an individual basis, not the group as a whole.

all of the fallacies you are mentioning are redharrings, so given that this is an introduction to logic then it would be better to write that there are red herrings and that those three are the ones that you think are the most common.


Also it is not optimal to call red herring logical fallacies since it is not a question of the logical structure of the arguments but instead a problem whit the content not being relevant. if you say logical fallacies then it is to be expected that you are talking about mistakes in the formel structure of the arguments
