I'm apologize, bwhite33. It was wrong of me to suggest that you were anything but a random new guy who felt the urge to register just so he could jump in on the 65th page of the "Paul's endless denial of logic" thread.

So tell me Paul... should we now expect sudden bouts of (I'm sure purely coincidental) new posters every time I point out one of your fallacies?

Sorry not a big fan of country music, and I didn't think Ceci was being rude until he accused me of being a sock puppet.
What is the "music" reference?

[quote=Lawson][quote=Paul W. Sondersted, Jr.]You've (Lawson, of course) talked to Dave Pruitt. Are you not allowed to reveal his ACTUAL reasoning for relinquishing his moderator duties? There was a "last straw", but what were the other "straws?"
Paul.
One question.
Above you ask for Dave Pruits ACTUAL reason for resigning his moderator duties.
Meaning you don't think the "last straw" is reason enough.
If this is the case, why is the "last straw" enough of a reason for Byrne banning Frank after the funeral?

The information (that's verifiable thus far) that I'm running with is that Frank Lauro was banned for an accumulation of reasons, none of which have anything whatsoever to do with attending a funeral.
The timing was coincidental, as JB implied.
As with the Frank Lauro banning, I'm guessing that there is an accumulation of reasons why Dave Pruitt decided to resign. I believe that Dave Pruitt is one of the few who think that JB banned Frank Lauro for the reasons stated by most detractors. I think he's wrong to believe this...obviously...which is the major contention of this debate. Why? Because no one can PROVE that this is the actual reason for the banning. There's a LOT of conjecture, guessing games, assumptions & presumptions, but nothing incontrovertible.
For some, it's black & white. For the more open-minded individuals, it's not.
I actually found the thread after seeing some comments about John Byrne, either on his site or another comic forum. I google'd or Yahoo'd it and this thread popped up. So I did read the whole thing and commented after I saw the postings on logical fallacies. The post about Dave Pruitt, got me wondering, so I asked if that was an example of the Authority fallacy. You answered nicely and I tried to respond in kind. You then labeled me a sock puppet, and then make a couple of sarcastic references in my general direction. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I'm actually not seeing where I ever supported Paul.
Of course I am surprised that there is a 67 or 68 page thread, on JB
Peter & Allen: Since my name is spelled like the country singer, that's the only one I thought of.

Later in the same post, you acknowledge that one of the moderators verified that Byrne banned Lauro for attending a funeral.
This isn't a logical fallacy, per se, but it is pretty baffling.
Of course, your assumption that it's more likely that Lauro did more than attend a funeral is a pretty solid conjunction fallacy. So don't worry, kiddo... you're still batting a thousand on fallacies.
As always, if you know of anything else Lauro did, please feel free to share it with us.
You won't, because you don't know of any examples. But that won't stop you from claiming they must be there. (And then, oddly enough, accusing others of "conjecture, guessing games, assumptions & presumptions.")

Argument from ignorance.
Also wildly ignores the previously established facts... that Pruitt, as a moderator, was there for the banning.
