come on I never said patterson was a drunk!

Because you aren't arguing. Argumentation must follow the form of logic. If your argument is "you are wrong because you are wrong" then you have used a logical fallacy and are failing at argumentation. If you have evidence, present it, otherwise just stop. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical. I am very skeptical and probably annoy believers with my analysis and overt skepticism, but at the end of the day I am still a "believer" and do not insult people based upon their beliefs. Trolling activity is strictly prohibited on this forum, as it is the only rule. So while you may troll in a less aggressive form I have yet to read a post that is relevant the the topic at hand from you.

that hasn't stopped "you know who" from relentlessly trying to get me banned from the board.... you know, the "believer" who seems to say nothing but what terrible people skeptics are....

you are wrong because you are wrong is a perfectly valid argument when the other person is wrong.

Look I can't make you take entry level college classes, but if you were to educate youself you would find that your statement is incorrect. If you knew what logical fallacies were, you would know that I am right. A logical fallacy is an error of reasoning. When someone adopts a position or tries to persuade some else to adopt a position, based on a bad piece of reasoning, they commit a fallacy. The specific fallacy reference is called a Ad Hominem fallacy. Look it up.

"When someone adopts a position of tries to persuade some else to adopt a position, based on a bad piece of reasoning"

You mean like when someone adopts the position that there is an undiscovered primate in north america?

That kind of bad reasoning?
