Just declaring something does not make it so.

Here, let's try it out.

<retort>argumentum ad absurdum

There! You lose!

I don't have to respond to you because your post was too absurd.</retort>

Lost in that was any explanation as to why the impugned statement should be classified as a fallacy let alone a particular fallacy. For all the on-looker knows the charge fallacy was misapplied. Perhaps a different form of fallacious reasoning of the orignal statement would apply but we would never know because the person offering the retort never took the time to explain themselves. They just blurted out their victory speech, stuck their fingers in their ears and cried "La-la-la-la-la!"

But hey, why bother with answering points in a discussion when you can just have your critics declared illegal and taken by police to the nearest jail.

If memory serves you support that as well.
