I'm not trying to tap dance, I'm trying to reason. I'm reasoning to show that using a term to describe the whole is wrong. I haven't anywhere, anytime said or written anything about a separate issue that you don't like. I haven't on any occasion said or written anything about the alleged involvement of members/ex members in that issue you are referring too. I haven't on any occasion said or  written anything in anyway, that mentions being comfortable with anything. My responses have been aimed at what is being said about an individual (me) on a group basis. Two separate issues and there is no linkage, none whatsoever between the two. My argument is in trying to show this, but unfortunately I can't seem to get this message across. Once again, If I use the same logic used by you and others in SAPP or have some form of relationship with SAPP, then Ack Ack's comments are from everyone in that organization, and I object being referred to as "dung."
I can then only assume that SAPP think and refer to me as "dung"." I find that disappointing and unreasonable.



i don't recalll seeing anything aimed directly at you? except that you're associated with them. in fact, guppy told you at one point to call him when ya saw  him online?

No one referred to you as dung. They may have referred to a group you associate with as dung. There is a difference, and it is a distinct difference.

And I note you did not answer again.  I started this thread to thank folks for a good night of air combat.  The JG54 guys with the SAPP logos in thier sigs then pop in, clearly looking for a reaction. 


This thread had nothing to do with them   So my question still remains.  Are you ok with guys from JG54 misrepresenting themselves that way?

OK Let me try this for the last and final time.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to get over.Lets use a military scenario as it'll probably be easier to relate to.
Young Private, officer etc walks into a new base, Somebody shouts out: "Hey I see from your patch that your from the fighting AH division, that's the  bravest fighting unit in the world, let me buy you a beer as It's not often I get the  chance to buy a brave person a beer"

Do you see the error in the persons thinking? The person accepts the common belief  that because "AH division" is the bravest in the country and this private is from the "fighting AH division" and for the "AH" to perform bravely then the private must be brave. The  characteristic of being brave is attributed to the part  simply because it's membership of the whole This shows that the "somebody" would expect the same of any-and- therefore all-of the parts It's faulty because it's not  necessary for every soldier to have acted bravely in order to justify the unit's label of "Bravest"
Hope this helps.

This is true. I dont mean this in any way about JG54 or anyone in particular but the analogy is true.

Answer the post above yours. The man who started SAPP has asked you repeatedly and politely for an answer about people you associate with and their actions. Do you see the error in your position? You demand an apology for a perceived affront to you, all the while ignoring and avoiding the issue of an insult made by your associates to incite a reaction. Your position is absurd and untenable. You expect to stand around on the corner with guys (pretty much wearing the exact same clothes, etc.) who are spitting on passers by, and not be called out by the people being spit on. It just doesn't work that way.

I have already answered his question on page ten of this thread. I noticed that you never commented on my explanation RE: dung. Care to give me a clear and concise rebuttal if my logic is faulty? If it's faulty, could you be so kind as to point out the errors? If  it's not faulty then I can assume that you would agree that I'm correct?
Why did you use my post as a quote and then not even answer any of it? I'm curious that's all.

dude.....i think we're all saying the same thing. we're all just seeing different sides of the same scenario.


what(i intrepret)guppy as asking.......is this.


he posted here trying to acknowledge fun fights. there were. over four hours of it.  
two members of your squad come in, and deface this thread......basically hijack it. not only that, but they place the sapp logo in their sig lines, trying to represent themselves as sapp members.

 by being associated with them through that squad.....it brings your character into judgement. again, this is not an attack on you.

 try this analogy. you and your family are in the siad yard, enjoying a cook-out......swimming, good food, etc. the neighborhood bully runs into your yard, knos\cks over the grills, and throws it into the pool, then egresses with great haste.
 he comes to my house, and i do nothing. i don't let you in to set him straight.....because i'm friends with him....now,........what would you think of me at that point?

akak was not trying(i think) to insult you. he was using an analogy....a corse analogy, but an anology nonetheless.

If he knew what an analogy was, he would understand one when he sees it, since he doesn't, well, you can see the results.

 "by being associated with them through that squad.....it brings your character into judgement."
And that is faulty reasoning Cap, I  have just shown that in my earlier explanation. RE:"AH division" Please, If my logic if faulty, if ack ack's comments were not a fallacy of division (my explanation)  then I'd like to be shown that.

Could you quote your answer from page 10 as I can't find it.  You still haven't answered my question as far as I can tell.  

I guess you'll need to dumb it down for me.  Are you OK with the actions of your squaddies misrepresenting themselves as part of SAPP?

That would be a simple yes or no.

ack-ack

If you knew what a fallacy of division represented then we wouldn't be having this discussion. If you knew how to reason we would not be having this discussion.  I would suggest that you study argumentative analogies-there's two types, one has a premise/conclusion structure and the other has an explanatory function.  You tend to try and argue from Ignorance-another fallacy, your position is proven by a lack of conclusive evidence against it. I have shown otherwise.
