Do you want to be on The List?

It is mostly comprised of neophyte pseudo-philosophers who have read very little Philosophy

All the people on your list have probably read far more philosophy than I have so how come they get on your list and I don't. Are you afraid of me, or something?

The most common characteristic of them all is the use of the particular fallacies of ad hom,

Isn't "ad hom" when you attack the person rather than the argument? You haven't made any philosophical arguments so how can it be ad hom? When people attack you for being a dick head it's classed as insult or abuse, as someone has already pointed out.

[Harbal]

You are the only fool that I have NOT yet put on The List.

No he isn't. I'm not on it either.

[thedoc]

It is mostly comprised of neophyte pseudo-philosophers who have read very little Philosophy and who do not know the difference between pure philosophical thought and fallacies from the fallacy list.

I would like to know, have you ever had a philosophical thought? If you did. was it lonely till it left?

It all started with cogito ergo sum.

You probably have never heard that though.

So you started with second hand thoughts, and did you proceed to more second hand thoughts? Did you ever have any thoughts of your own?

[FlashDangerpants]

Somebody who isn't on his list should probably ask him if he thinks perhaps his Aspergers Syndrome has contributed to his difficulties fitting into a new social situation.

It might be time for him to empty his list and stop trying to dominate us. Assuming, that is, that he actually wishes things had gone differently for him here.

PS. That is still a guess - I don't have the skills to diagnose that stuff.

You should start a new thread on that topic generally speaking. It would be an interesting topic.

For now this thread is all about all the people who belong on everybody's foes' list.

Otherwise you are jacking the thread.

In most forums that would get you banished.

But this forum is largely unmoderated.

Still it is bad form and bad taste to jack a thread.

So if I call him stupid, is it an insult if he already knows?

If you call Harbal stupid nobody would hold that against you.

He has only read 1 philosophy book and the shoe probably fits.

No, it's about people who want to be on your "foes list".

I still believe a thread can go anywhere it wants and no-one has the right to say otherwise.

[Harbal]

I don't don't think he came to fit in, I think he came to do what he's done. I don't think he's new, either. He's probable someone who's been banned and come back for revenge.

I think you should stay on topic in a thread.

And your thoughts on original thinking versus emulation of historic philosophers is a good topic for a new thread.

Anyone on my foes' list (your punctuation is like a middle school pupil's btw) deserves to be there.

They would also deserve to be on everyone else's foes' list as well.

I may possibly harbour a grudge.

I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit. But confirmation bias probably is.

[henry quirk]

"foes' list'

HA!

[yiostheoy]

I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Actually you committed a severe antecedent problem.

So grammar and syntax is obviously NOT your forte.

I never claimed to be an English major, or even very good at it. Do you have anything else to pick at? Nothing important, why start now?
