And yet you cannot cite where I made the assertion you claimed.

Read this carefully and slowly...
In. Your. First. Post. You. Used. At. Least. Three. Fallacies.
1) Begging the question
2) False Dilemma
3) Excluded middle

You support your argument with several definitions that are carefully limited to only support your conclusion. That is “Begging the Question”. Your definitions indicate that “Right” and “Left”are the only choices. That is False Dilemma, since there are other choices. You use only the most extreme possible definition. That is Excluded Middle, since other definitions exist.

When I wrote “It goes like this: since I am defining the terms as me being correct, I am therefore correct,” I was demonstrating how a “question begging” (aka “circular logic”) fallacy is structured, not trying to quote you.

Are you clear now? Or shall I explain it to you a fifth time?
