Am I winning yet, or do I need still to chain post another half dozen repititions of a vague ad-hominem that ignores all counterarguments to make you see this my way ?

It's worth noting Josh is 4e's biggest fan on this board, arguing it over 3e in a lot of cases.Plebian wrote:you are so adorableJosh_Kablack wrote:Am I winning yet, or do I need still to chain post another half dozen repititions of a vague ad-hominem that ignores all counterarguments to make you see this my way ?
Think about how stupid you are that the 4e fans are making fun of you.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

No, he thinks you are stupid because you misunderstand everything that is being said by literally everyone, even people on your side. For example, you misunderstood him right there.Plebian wrote:think of how stupid you are that you think an idiot mocking me ineptly makes me stupidDragonChild wrote: It's worth noting Josh is 4e's biggest fan on this board, arguing it over 3e in a lot of cases.

Seriously, you have to tell me: are you a native speaker of English? Perhaps under 12?
If you are, I think people will treat you a lot nicer. If not, you've used up all the rope you've been given.
you know, it would be really nice to live in a world where I could believe anything I typed no matter how stupid. how's it working out for you?K wrote: No, he thinks you are stupid because you misunderstand everything that is being said by literally everyone, even people on your side.

Mmm, it's honestly a bit annoying to live in a world where you believe everything you type no matter how stupid.

It does take some balls to come out and admit you're a compulsive liar. I have to give you props for that.Plebian wrote:you know, it would be really nice to live in a world where I could believe anything I typed no matter how stupid. how's it working out for you?
Also:
Also known as an argument from rhetoric; one that appeals to emotion rather than reason. Not to be confused with a rhetorical question, as some people who just repeatedly parrot things based on word association games might do.Some people earlier in the thread wrote:rhetorical argument

you do realize that there is no commonly accepted definition that supports your claim, yeah? but at least you haven't got the balls to admit you're making shit up as you go and assigning definitions you find convenientQuantumboost wrote:Also known as an argument from rhetoric; one that appeals to emotion rather than reason.

as opposed to the actual definition of rhetorical which I'm moderately certain you are capable of finding
edit: I suppose you could mean an argument from pathos but uh then you would be assigning all of rhetoric to the pathos style which is just terribly stupid

Wow that looks pretty consistent with exactly what I said. Amazing how that happens.dictionary.reference.com wrote:rhe·tor·i·cal

1. used for, belonging to, or concerned with mere style or effect.
2. marked by or tending to use bombast.
3. of, concerned with, or having the nature of rhetoric.
No. Anything which is not a purely deductive or inductive argument appeals to the emotions. That Aristotle long ago decided to classify things according to whether the feelings appealed to were about a person (ethos), about your own reasoning (most uses of logos), or about anything else (pathos) is meaningless. An appeal to authority/moral character or an appeal to your own self-image as a reasonable person is more subtly emotional than a direct appeal to FOR THE CHILDREN!, but it's still emotional.I suppose you could mean an argument from pathos but uh then you would be assigning all of rhetoric to the pathos style which is just terribly stupid
how does "used for, belonging to, or concerned with mere style or effect" equate to "appeals to emotion rather than reason" exactly? rhetorical arguments in the first sense can use logos, pathos, or ethos as a basis because it's presenting a point of view simply to present it, but your quote just automatically assumes pathos

This is what HPs should be and, accidentally, what they ARE in actual DnD. Deal with it, bitch.
