Enough.

I'm sorry, are you made uncomfortable by my requests that you support your arguments? Do you not like it when people don't take your allegations that they use strawman fallacies against them and ask that you back up your claims? Or would you prefer that I just agree with every unsupported claim you make?

Research yourself… or do not.

Why should we take homework assignments from you?

How can I research your memories other than asking you about them? If you have nothing to offer just say so. There's no shame in admitting your mistakes.

Are you unable to check your memories?

You claim to have come from a reality where Faiyum did not exist. Since Faiyum has influenced history in this reality, the reality you claim to have come from must have had a different history. I am asking you to tell us your memories from that different reality and explain how the world was different.

Your refusal to engage is noted. Trolling is against forum rules.

Close the topic and I will be grateful.

Did you think this was a good response? Really, why did you even bother?

The company? the attention? certainly not any meaningful engagement or discussion.

Straw man argument.

You keep saying this, but you haven't shown that anyone here has actually used a strawman against you. I know I've asked you several times now to give an example where I used a strawman argument against you, and you have refused to do so. I suspect you can't, because I have never actually done so. And I don't see where anyone else has either.

So time to back up your claims. Where has anyone in this thread used a strawman against you?

Saying my memory is flawed.

JohnEmmett · Mar 7, 2021

Kylie said:
All you've said is, "But I really believe it, so it must be true!"

Not my argument.

Such would be silly, easy to refute.

A straw man!

Everyone's memory is flawed.

In any case, me saying your memory is flawed is not a strawman attack, it is me disagreeing with your claim that your memory is infallible. Such disagreements are the very cornerstone of a debate thread like this. You can't just cry, "Strawman fallacy!" every time someone disagrees with a claim you make.

And if your memory being infallible is the foundation of your argument, you need to support that claim, since without it, your argument collapses. You have never demonstrated that your memory is infallible. And your claim of an infallible memory is not something that you can just assume will be taken as fact.

Yes, you have made that argument.

You really believe that your memories are accurate, so they MUST be accurate. That is your argument.

You can't speak for everyone.

To make everyone flawed is a straw man argument.

For memories we are not sure of… we are not sure.

For memories we are sure of… we have a good reason for being sure.

The wealth of scientific evidence supports my claim. Memory is not reliable, and there's nothing special about your memory.
