your style reminds me of another person who used to engage me and many others with strawmen arguments, red herring statements, twisted logic, mis-quotes, and managed to create general mayhem. That username was "ASH".... Your style is very similar, and that is not a compliment.

Apparently not too similar, because I'm still here after more than ten years, and you would be able to point to a specific fallacy instead of waving your fairy wand and pronouncing me "icky."

You're the perfect example of a "Dismisser":

The Dismisser — The ultimate arrogant commenter, this person never actually engages with the topic, but merely declares it beneath anyone’s interest, already resolved, or improperly stated - and thus hardly worth the bother. The Dismisser’s only real message is: "I’m smarter than you and you need to acknowledge that fact!"

The only thing the article was lacking is your picture.

By the way, you're not the only one who has been around here for over ten years, newbie.
