Reply #31: You present no evidence..I wrote it, so I know what I said.

I even re-read it before my first reply.

Address what is in my post instead of referring to it vaguely. I am not a swami, and cannot predict what exactly is your big objection. What exactly did I say that made you think "he is telling me that I have to think exactly like him!". This is what you accused me of openly....it's your post title.

I didn't ask anyone to think in lock-step with me, so your original accusation is false. You, of course, never addressed this rebuttal. Just reasserted it. Argument by repetition is a logical fallacy. Where is your evidence?

I am familiar with the technique of the vague response to duck out of an argument, too. Be specific....where did I demand everyone thinks exactly like me?

And do not confuse a little rhetoric of pointing out how silly I think some behavior is as an entreaty to fall in line. there is a difference between rhetoric and an outright demand.

I am finding your method of argumentation very hard to follow. Either you are doing this on purpose as a form of sophistry or you need to familiarize yourself with good rhetorical technique (as free of fallacy as possible). It would make you more effective, and less vulnerable to someone who knows what they are doing.
