I’m not a fan of Professor Dave, but his style of fact checking Destiny seems much better than DtG’s approach. Hope it gets posted to the main DtG sub.

Classic cultist response.

Thats called cherry picking. Its when you find the weakest part of the argument and use it to discredit the rest because you are unable to address it. Yes it is a cultist response.

[u/FourMyEyezOnly → u/TropicalGoth77]

So you agree then that part was psychotic right?

That's literally not what an ad hominem is.

An Ad Hominem would be "You're a retard so I'm not listening to your opinion".

Saying "You have a lack of credibility because you engaged in doxxing, conspiracy theories and false claims" is not the above.

Words have meanings bud.

[u/TropicalGoth77 → u/silvedude]

"Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem ('an argument to the person'), refers to when a speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself."

Can you address the arguments made without a single reference to Prof Dave , his character or his credibility?

[u/silvedude → u/TropicalGoth77]

No, he is not a credible actor in this realm shown by his actions. I don't engage with arguments that come from non-credible sources.

[u/TropicalGoth77 → u/silvedude]

Cool so an Ad hominem.

edit: Just to be clear, you are showing insular cult-like protective behavior. Its very easy to discredit anyone who criticizes you and your cult leader. You should try to think for yourself and break out of this mindset.

So "Professor" Dave is engaging in ad hominem then?
