So you were hardly ignoring me then.

Hey Frank, perhaps Dasiym is reading one of your post right now.

Or perhaps not.

Why'd you consider putting me on ignore, if you were to continue reading my posts whilst logged off?

You are half right, you have on occasion warranted the label "intellectual coward", it was not for the reasons you've given.

You're perfectly entitled to dispel or ignore fallacical arguments, which despite your incessant claims, mine rarely are. You're not however entitled to claim a monopoly on truth via a tabloid SMH article, whilst ignoring all reality or meaningful debate to the contrary by resorting to falsely labeling almost every counter-argument a red herring or a logical fallacy, even in its full Latin glory, when this has so obviously not been the case.

Consider, we have continued debating with you despite
your argumentum ad verecundiam arguments concerning dickhead Andrew Fraser's views on the Sudanese,
your argumentum ad ignorantiam points regarding SMH's resident tabloid Duffy's claims about the Uni's treatment of Fraser,
your argumentum ad antiquitatem claims that the Anzacs never fought for a multicultural Australia,
your argumentum ad hominems about my living in Japan and its relevence to public spending,
your slippery slope claims that current immigration and birth patterns will see white Aussies becoming a minority in 150 years, my personal favourite, and finally
your ad nauseum attacks of improperly claiming red herring or a logical fallacy of some sort from all who have challenged you to consider your insulated, secular world view.

All this whilst ignoring the intellectual giant fonts the in the conventions we agreed to.

Nobody can stop you from continuing to do so, you're a free man, but pardon me if I feel it more to my liking to simply have some fun at your expense than continue to enter fruitless debate where the wheels are spinning, but the car is still on the hoist. I don't seem to have these problems debating others here, or elsewhere, while you seemingly do. Sure, it is sometimes fun while it's on, and I enjoy the issues you bring up here, you promote a lot of discussion, but I, much like Daisym, can't really see the point of directly engaging with you, not very often anyhow, given the above complaints.

And lastly, sincere apologies for thinking you were trolling as the good Rev, it just seemed to weird that he is a rahowa retard, signed up the day I first bailed on you in the earth-to-kruger thread, and seems to be just here pushing buttons, contributing nothing whatsoever to the debate. Believe me when I say that despite our many differences I hold you in a much higher light.

Like that is even possible, catching your attention here is like shooting fish in a barrel.
