    to those of you who enjoy debating, arguing, or whatever it is that you do: fallacies

    and to those of you who are unaware of this definition, particularly those of you who enjoy employing this tactic: straw man

    i make no guarantees. warning: reading this stuff might result in increased rationality and/or knowledge, which might reduce the thrilling emotional catharses of pointless argument, thereby ruining the whole thing for everyone. it's not my intention to ruin the whole thing for everyone.

    happy new year!

    Oh, jack. Your optimistic hopefulness is cheering, but you should know that those most in need of such enlightenment will for certain not embrace it. Still, it was worth a try.

    "enlightenment" is certainly beyond my reach, but thanks for your kind words, spider!

    happy new year! and how will you spend it?
