Hunting - yes or no?

[SwissVan]

Yep. That character trait cannot be ignored, unfortunately.

 

 

@odinson - you perhaps are overly passionate about this topic, as it seems to rile you so much more than anything else, to the point that you are not willing (not gonna say not able, as you remain very able as demonstrated by your attention on other threads) to entertain an opposing and / or sympathetic and / or conciliatory and or / accepting a compromising position and / or compromise without going into ad hominem attacks and vitriolic, holier than thou attacks. It's frankly surprising and upsetting to see, from a champion of logic such as yourself. 

 

I know it's a topic very close to your heart, but give up the patronising, sarcastic, "moral superiority" vibe that you have going, and perhaps you'd get more viewers or converts. 

 

BTW: This by NO means represents my own personal views on you as a person. I find it sad that I need to say this, but it's not a personal attack. Just reading it as I see it.

 

 

That’s rich

 

Don’t take it personally, just saying how I see your post

Something can be rich, and true at the same time. Amazing! Boom mind blown.

I'm afraid we're derailing this thread.

 

Nevertheless, please, if you will, explain to me where I should be "entertain an opposing and / or sympathetic and / or conciliatory and or / accepting a compromising position and / or compromise without going into ad hominem attacks and vitriolic, holier than thou attacks".

I go hunting with friends from time to time. We use walkie-talkies to stay in touch. I found reviews about best walkie-talkies on TheBestWalkieTalkies. There are many good lessons to learn from hunting. Patience, awareness, and an appreciation for silence and the stillness of nature, to name a couple.

Vegans dont swear? *gasp*

Tell that to that Aussie vegan cyclist dude!

Yes I got the sarcasm in your post, just in case you were wondering.

Why, only as it's the ETHICAL thing to do. Don't argue the man, argue the ball. With this, you seem not to be able to delineate, and argue the man as if he were the ball. 

 

There's a very neat noun for things like that, and it goes like this: 

 

zealotry in British (ˈzɛlətrɪ  )

 

noun

extreme or excessive zeal or devotion

 

 

Further:

 

uncountable noun

Zeal is great enthusiasm, especially in connection with work, religion, or politics.

...his zeal for teaching. [+ for]

Mr Lopez approached his task with a religious zeal.

[Odinson]

Completely missed the purpose of my question.

[Patchelicious]

Completely missed the purpose of my question.

It seemed a bit zealy

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Completely missed the purpose of my question.

I'll simplify it for you, then. 

 

Everywhere. 

 

Ad hominems aren't ethical. Nor are they productive. They just serve to show how entrenched one is in their position, and how unwilling one is to accept evidence contrary to their position. 

 

IE: You're being religious in your arguments.

I'm just here for the lols

Isn’t it a school night?
