I have been interested in reasoning lately. This is not meant as a contribution to the argument. I am taking the liberty to consider some of it out of the context of this thread. Feel free to correct.

Ad hominem. Trying to paint the arguer as clueless to invalidate further argument.

Ad hominem. "You're MI, therefore your arguments have no merit." Also leaves room for excuse to evade further issues.

Non sequitur. "You have thought-out sentences, therefore you are trying to act intelligent."

Ad hominem, non sequitur. "You think I give a shit about you, therefore you are an MI, and there is no point in talking to you."

This paragraph appeared to try to argue a point.

Ad hominem, straw man, non sequitur. "You are in love with the war and with service, therefore you cannot talk down our certifications." I am not sure what premise the "my level of training did a great job" proposition follows from.

Straw man. Attempts to change appearance of argument by insisting that one did not exist.

Where did that argument come from? Why is being able to form sentences a bad thing? Is typing out poor sentences a set up to provide future proof that a writer was not "too involved" in a post? As an aside, I think this is the first time I have really realized the use of words like "shit" and "fuck" to have the intent of strengthening one argument, and/or weakening another.
