Holmes, again

Author: Holmes
Thread: Coffee House - Haggard Thread #2

for Message 163 about consent; what it means and why it doesn't factor into the debate over homosexual marriage. It's well written and easy to follow, and I think it will increase the quality of debate in the remainder of the thread. Great job, holmes! I always love to read your posts and I find you to be one of the most even-handed and level-headed members of this forum.

Re: Holmes, again

misrepresenting his opponents and the debate in general, philosophical logic-chopping, long-winded tirades that are completely off-topic, and of course, a liberal peppering of ad hominem attacks against his opponents.

I'll admit the whole discussion may have been off topic, but none of your other points hold any water. He didn't misrepresent anyone. Gasby specifically asked why consent was a smokescreen, and holmes gave his explanation. The closest he comes to an ad hominem is the first sentence, while I was mostly focussed on the latter portion about consent. Not that you're one to talk about ad hominem attacks.

Did you even read the post?

There you go again.

Re: Holmes, again

He's misrepresented the entire issue, as well as NJ's reasons for bringing it up.

NJ didn't bring up consent, which is the main topic of the message.

The post is full of his veiled attacks, particularly several against me, who he supposedly has promised not to respond to.

I'd be interested if you could point a few out. If his post is indeed as falacy-filled as you insist it is, I may just change my mind.

Look, it's obvious from your erroneous statements that you haven't given the post anything but the most shallow of readings. Yet you're ready to enshrine it as a post of the month?

I'm not enshrining it, I just thought it was a good post. But this isn't the place to argue.
