What are you talking about?

You accused me of trolling (for asking an honest question, which you are apparently only able to answer with ad hominem attacks). The onus is on you to prove I was trolling. You can't — because I wasn't.

While we're discussing logical fallacies — what do you call it when someone makes a declaration of fact, which, in fact, is not a fact — and then proceeds to level ad hominem attacks against someone who politely points out the actual facts?

(You flatly stated that HFC is a “crime” — a word that has specific legal meaning. I politely pointed out that it's not actually a crime. I never stated any opinion about whether or not it should be a crime — just the bald fact that is is not actually a crime now. For that, you accuse me of trolling. I offered my lengthy track record of non-trolling posts as evidence of my character as a serious poster. You then return with a jumble of names of logical fallacies, from some numbered list you seem to have stashed away somewhere. Who's trolling now?)
