Yes, clearly it is my fault that you made a fallacious statement which you have now admitted. ??????????
Please quote where I said his logic was correct. This should be interesting.
Selective memory doesn't work when you leave a paper trail. And yours proves diminishing returns on truth.

Fair, you did not say that his logic was correct, but you did not say that it was incorrect, and you bashed my criticism of it. I usually equate that to considering it correct, but that was my fallacy. I guess you were just trying to point out where you thought I may have misread (though I didn't).
Here, you were missing the point entirely:

your argument with my "appral to nature" is completely off base. My claim is 100% logic.
all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.
humans are animals.
therefore humans amust have gay populations.
a=b
x=a
therefore x=b
logic is mathematical. |
No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.
It is 100% not complete logic.

This is strawman. He said all animals (except) humans display homosexuality. Not, "All species are alike". Astonishing that in a thread about fallacies is one found.

You said I was using a strawman argument (which I wasn't).

Yes, you were.
No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.
That is not his premise. His premise is:
all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.
You have misrepresented his premise. When in reality, you're advocating that his logic is faulty as it required another supporting logical statement. Huge difference.
