EXXON Contradicts its Own Scientists

[_Some Schmo]

Toby's been caught lying, and starts accusing others of lying. Toby's been caught trolling, and starts accusing others of trolling. Now his latest accusation is pedophilia, after he sees a picture of a baby.

So I guess he's the space god worshiping, trolling, baby idiot. Interesting. Can't say I'm surprised. He always has been more than a little creepy.

On this subject, Tobin is deliberately ignorant (and proud of it) and irrational. He is dead wrong with his claims that Gunnar has made a fallacious argument from popularity or from authority. In fact, he mangles the argument from authority fallacy so much that he stands it on its head. At the same time, all of his opinions are grounded in an actually logical fallacy -- the argument from personal incredulity. Tobin can't believe that something is true, therefore it is absurd. Because it is absurd, he refuses to even consider information that contradicts his viewpoint. It's a literal fact free shield.

A guy I know is into racing horses. He tells a story about two horses, side by side, coming down the stretch toward the wire. One of the horses has his full attention on the other, and is doing everything it can to throw his competitor off stride. He describes it as "biting the hell" out of the other horse. The other horse has full attention on the finish line and is simply ignoring the biter.

You can guess which horse Tobin is. Be the horse with eyes on the prize.

I don't think Tobin cares if his arguments are factual or not. He just likes to fight and get attention.

He also likes to derail threads, which he has managed to do once again. I realize that I'm helping him do that, so I will not post anything else on the matter.

Wow. You really hated that I called you out on your space god, huh?

damned funny.

I like to “F” sheep.

Who says old [unfounded assertion deleted] can't learn new tricks?

...something typically idiotic of him...

You sure are obsessed with imagining my sex life. I suppose that's because yours was abducted by aliens.

Now the sight of a baby picture (crying, no less) makes you think about jacking off. Sad.

[MODERATOR NOTE:

Gentlemen, please cease & desist with the accusations of illegal activities and/or proclivities. It creates extra work for me to have to edit them out.

Thank you.]

Listen you old sheep idiot, I didn't post the baby picture nor do I have that fixation. Clearly you do as well as your desperate need to hold your neighbor's pets in your lap.

Yet you felt the need to deny it. Interesting.

Lame.

I admire a good insult. There's an outside chance that if you squeezed a couple neurons together, you could come up with something clever... maybe. Course, if you think making random accusations is clever, there may be no hope for you.
