Here's your frame. If it's not obvious he's in a stance, you're trying to be obtuse. Which, it's pretty clear you are so I'm sure you'll deny this as well.

Dude, at this point, I'm quite confident, even if I were able to miraculously produce a quote of Peter Laird saying that silliness was an important consideration when creating the turtles, you'd still not be satisfied that it was proof. You're just stuck on your own view and the many examples I've given you have…

So, show you him doing martial arts somewhere BESIDES where he's doing martial arts? Got it. More denial. Predictable. It's all you've got. Deny reality. Just like how I need to prove it's inherently silly but only by ignoring its inherent silliness. Even Eastman said, when he first looked at his drawings of the…

Also, where did I incorrectly state the line of progression?

How does one stall AFTER they've repeatedly proven their assertion? Isn't the point in stalling to avoid having to do something? It's already done sir. 15 posts ago at least. Oh wait, you're in denial about what words mean. Nevermind. How does one condescend to someone arguing about something they clearly are not…

Holy crap! This is like the most epic Kotaku Deals post in the history of ever!

It's not an insult to call a fallacy a fallacy or a contradiction a contradiction. It's called real life. But, sadly, there are no unicorns here. :(

Well, since I'm not a troll, I'm happy to let you live in your fantasy world. I'm sure it's a nice place. A place where unmutated rats learning martial arts by watching is deadly serious. A place where not being familiar with subject matter doesn't keep you from debating it with fallacies. A place where words don't…

I haven't made one. I suppose I could make up some fallacious reason, but I try to leave that to the trolls.

Why would you claim to have a unicorn?

See, that's how I KNOW you're trolling me. I say I'm not out of responses. To which you respond "yep, you're out of responses". Like complete denial. Fuuuuuuuu stop feeding the troll. OMG. You are so good at this!

I didn't run out of viable responses. I just see no point in offering them to someone whose only response is denying words have actual meanings and self contradiction while demonstrating an obvious lack of familiarity with the subject matter. Damnit, I"m doing it again. Don't feed the troll. Don't feed the troll.

I get it now. I don't know how I didn't see it before. Totally my bad. I just now realized you're trolling me. Nobody can be this obtuse and still be serious. You don't even have familiarity with the subject matter as to when the mutation happened. I point it out and you feign indignation, as if reality is an insult.…

You apparently didn't read, or just didn't understand how causal reductionism works, and why it's a broken way to argue because you're basically arguing it's a legit tactic. It is not. I'm not interested in batting down lazy fallacies all day, even though you seem to enjoy tossing them out.

Somehow it only gets worse. It's like you don't understand the laws of reality, or how word meanings work. I never said talking animals by themselves are inherently silly. (You're engaging in obvious Causal Reductionism here). Talking animals is only one component of an inherently silly premise. So don't try to focus…

That's not how I see it.

You're still doing it. It's not a catchphrase. I'ts like.... a real thing.

Awesome reply. Probably pretty close to reality.

Ok, great comment. You're a good person inside, but also a pragmatist, recognizing conflicting interests and motivations. Taking actions that need to be taken, regardless of personal desires.

You make a great point. It's a subtle but vital difference in the two situations. I would put even more weight on the guys position as community manager. That makes twitter comments almost able to be considered on the job, or in an official capacity. If some random employee got fired for a comment they made on twitter…
