So you're calling Santara a child who can't handle it when his arguments got destroyed, cool we agee!
His method of debate seems to be throw out insults, scare anyone who doesn't off who doesn't accept them and if they throw any back cry to mods about how you were treated so unfairly.
And yes, some people dont like Freud, glad to see you're with the quacks. Einstein has been destroyed, such a last century theory, stop grasping at straws please.
A few things:
He said nothing of the sort.
You're not capable of, nor have you ever demonstrated, any such destruction of my arguments.
Not once have I contacted the mod team about this thread, or any flat Earth thread. Why would I want to? They provide me with a great deal of amusement. /e as a matter of fact, I have even reminded the people posting the "lock" emojis that the science subforum is indeed the legitimate subforum for discussing such tripe, and I refuse to engage in it.
Words (and in the case of my previous post, terms) do mean things, including an argumentum ad hominem. In the structure of debate, it is very much an attempt to discredit the arguments presented by an opponent as a way of dismissing their arguments. When I insult flat Earth theory, I am not making an argument, I am making an insult. Because it is deserved. I'm perfectly happy addressing any relevant points you wish to make, and destructing them to the point of being absurd. But that doesn't mean my being insulting along the way is an attempt to discredit your arguments. I can do that using perfectly valid logical arguments. You however? Not so much.
