Incidentally, this is Hitlerian argumentation style. Instead of making a straightforward argument, you load it with emotional baggage to support your Stalinesque worldview.



Admittedly, if you haven't read 1984 the Orwell reference probably went over your head. "Manichean" is a word you should just look up, as it is quite useful.

Thanks for pointing this out. I did go through high school, so I'm hip to your extremely erudite reference.

Really. I don't find much use for it. Maybe if I just spent more time virtuously casting my opponents as evil users of "Orwellian" tactics, I could also point out that _their_ worldview is manichean.


I guess I should have known you wouldn't have anything useful to say when you started off by comparing me to Hitler.


Hitler and Stalin reference in one comment! Surely there is some kind of achievement for that.
