[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8088533, member: 6901101"] Are you saying tone can't be read through text? :unsure:o_O Maybe the emojis help. There are enough fallacies out there that every single argument can fall under the definition of a fallacy. Even ones that are true. Pointing them out doesn't make the argument any stronger. Pointing out different facts, ones that pertain more to the subject, or have more ethos, makes arguments stronger. And for the record, I have one request. One. Not ten. Not five. One. I asked for a video. I used those analogies because it is overwhelming proof that learning visually is easier for most people. That's why people use YouTube to learn how to repair something instead of reading the manual and figuring it out. My premise was, can't we just agree that it's easier if you see it? But apparently, you have to argue over that too. And you are right surgeons can learn with cats. So fill in the blank. Then they move to _____________________. That's right, cadavers. Then they move to watching surgeries on people. See how people is step one and two. Sorry I wanted to skip the cat step. You are right, this style of play is not mainstream. In fact, I can't find it all. Others have not stated as much. The "give an inch they'll take a mile" mantra is incredibly strong here. Maybe people are defensive for a reason. I don't know. Also, I didn't ask you or anyone else to do a personal search. I asked the forum to show one. I am not asking them to search. [I]I assume if they play this way, they might be more inclined to know others that play this way. That means, they might be more inclined to know of a video being played that way.[/I] I am not asking them to research, I am asking if they know of one, then post. And to your bold text, show me where I have argued. I have stated three or four times I want to learn - not argue. I even said: "I AM NOT TRYING TO ARGUE." How these words are not clear to you and you insist on trying to show how clever you are by pointing out esoteric fallacies is beyond me. Because you seem intelligent. But maybe you just like to use that intelligence to stir up drama. It is apparent to me, you just like to argue. Maybe devil's advocate is your thing. If so. Cool. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
