Look, I understand that you like using your liberal arts degree in Film making, but playing second fiddle to an artist who is already starving isn’t really doing your skills at doubling down on bulls*it any justice.

The fault in your argument, and in Hobbs’ is that you, specifically, didn’t use the term “colloquially”. Hobbs’ doubled down on his position that the mere utterance of the phrase “slippery slope” was, itself, a fallacy…which would be news to the entire jurisprudence of the SCOTUS for the past 100 years (an entity that I’m almost certain has more experience in “your realm” of fallacies than you do).

Besides, the fact that a wikipedia article explicitly laid out the fact that Hobbs’ was being 1) too broad, and 2) defensive when called on it just goes to show how wrong he was.

The truly unfortunate part about this entire exercise is that you think that Hobbs’ “schooled” me (what are you, 45?) when all he did was argue that his emotions should take higher consideration than logic when reacting to these situations. That is a valid position to take, but one that must, necessarily, yield to rationalism in these situations.

If it doesn’t you’ll just become some Philo major with nothing better to do than use your degree to argue that Wikipedia isn’t truly a textbook.

Good luck to you…fishmouth
