    Oh hey look - it's the literal definition of a troll.

    I'm just pointing out that you complain constantly that Dick got banned, but you just wrote that you can't make threats of punishment without ever acting on them. There's a contradiction there.

    The complaint is bigger than just Dick, but fair point.

    I didn't miss it, I just wanted @Smallpotatoes to see the justification.

    Yeah, but... Wait. You agree? Okay. I don't know what we do now. This has never happened to me on the Internet before.

    Um, enjoy the footy game this afternoon?

    So if you won't accept "They did it too" as a valid defense from your kids, why do you think it's a valid defense in politics?

    You keep missing my point.

    It's not about whether it's "right" or "wrong", it's about YOU.

    So you're saying if I don't criticize something else, I can't criticize what I'm criticizing? Nope. It doesn't work that way.

    Of course you can criticize anything you want.

    I just don't believe you really give a shit about it.

    You really care about these pardons? Sure you do.

    No matter how you try to frame it, it's still whataboutism, which is still a logical fallacy.

    The day you learned the term "logical fallacy" and read about the "One True Scotsman" was the greatest day of your life, wasn't it?

    So you're saying it's not a logical fallacy?
