I mentioned it once last week but I’ll bring it back up again. Things have been chaotic with the holidays so any number of things could have been missed.

And neither did the green poster with his comment.
I disagree. I believe leaving the “bad damage” comment hanging was very intentional.

Then so did pips post. which is funny you’re arguing she didn’t but even she admitted she meant it that way.

No, she/he didn’t and wouldn’t apologize to you for calling the green out on posting a loaded question. You have simply chosen to cherry pick and use that one comment out of all of their argument to try to cast doubt on their arguments validity. It is an age old ploy Jugaa, and it doesn’t fool anyone. You can’t get them to agree, so you next attempt to disparage.

Nope. The comment they made has zero to do with wow and is not “akin” to asking about someone’s low damage on their reflex.
I am not going to continue arguing with you. You are simply using that comment as a way to disparage Pipikaula as a person, not a character, not a commenter on the forums, I am sure, in hopes of causing people to not want to pay attention to him/her or their comments, thus neutralizing someone who does not agree with your opinion.

No. You have no idea my intentions. And you both did the same thing with the mvp post. You don’t agree with it so you and pip made him into this big stalking monster (the stalking part made me laugh)
From wikipedia, please read the bolded part then read it in the context:
A loaded question or complex question fallacy is a question that contains a controversial or unjustified assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt).
Aside from being an informal fallacy depending on usage, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner’s agenda. The traditional example is the question “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Whether the respondent answers yes or no, he will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed. The fallacy relies upon context for its effect: the fact that a question presupposes something does not in itself make the question fallacious. Only when some of these presuppositions are not necessarily agreed to by the person who is asked the question does the argument containing them become fallacious. Hence the same question may be loaded in one context, but not in the other. For example, the previous question would not be loaded if it were asked during a trial in which the defendant had already admitted to beating his wife.
If you want to go down the rabbit hole of why that is the best known example then you can begin here and follow links etc.

Unfortunately it is the example almost always used when analogizing a loaded question. Now I don’t see what the green post said as being a loaded question. First of all because it wasn’t a question. It was a statement of fact. It was then erroneously presumed to be an attack on the players ability.
So this all could have been avoided.
Also: An analogy is not equating. Even a bad or misplaced one. They are often seen that way usually because of the wording or just not recognizing that it’s an analogy in the first place.
Now:
Everyone take a time out.
The gnome hath spoken.

When you say that questioning someone’s damage on their reflex is AKIN to asking… that’s what I’m talking about and has no place on the wow forum board.
Holy crow, did you even read what he said? Argh.

Yes, he worded it poorly.

Yes. Very.
If you were someone else I might agree with you about not knowing your intentions. Trouble is I have seen you use this tactic several times.

And same goes for you. Just look at this thread and your very first post in here
Lol, the difference is the only meat at all in his post was to say the op had low damage. I was calling out the whole post, not one sentence in it.

You saw what you wanted to see, and that was the bad in his post. He asked a question, made an observation (a good one) followed up with what he thought the OP might have been doing.
Asking what he does in BGs is a legitimate question, especially in light of some of the numbers. Nothing loaded or attacking. Facts are facts and it’s always appropriate to use facts in a discussion.

I am not saying that asking what he is doing in the bgs is not a good question. I am saying, particularly coming from a green, the addition of the comment that his damage is super low, should have been omitted.
And the only thing you took out of pips entire comment was the analogy he used, and then continued to harp about it.
