Well, now. That is an assumption on your part, isn't it? No. I do not like arguments (intellectual debates are nice).
Where in my posts do you find "personal attacks"?
First of all, I think I'll need to define personal attacks: bringing in topics or arguments that are about the person arguing rather than the subject being discussed. What do you think? Is that a good definition.
In any case, I think the search function is adequate.
I hope that an argument is alright with you:
To put forth reasons for or against; debate: “It is time to stop arguing tax-rate reductions and to enact them” (Paul Craig Roberts).
To attempt to prove by reasoning; maintain or contend: The speaker argued that more immigrants should be admitted to the country.
To give evidence of; indicate: “Similarities cannot always be used to argue descent” (Isaac Asimov).
To persuade or influence (another), as by presenting reasons: argued the clerk into lowering the price
I was really trying to say something other than "animal/human". That wasn't my point. I was poking fun at the arguments some people use to justify their actions. Maybe I shouldn't use rhetoric.
Stumble It!
