Incidentally, what's the "Internet white knight" fallacy?

It's when someone tries to discredit their opponents' arguments based on the presumption that they are defending/trying to impress a (ZOMG!) Real Live Girl on the Internet.

I've seen Internet White Knights in action, it's not that it doesn't happen, but it's a pretty weak argument to launch solely on the basis that someone has referred to your antagonist as female. Especially on a board as laden with females as this one is.

anyone who defends a "female poster " is basement dweller who's motivations for proffering a defence  are sexual in nature

But that's more of a behavior than a fallacy...

It only becomes a fallacy when it's used presumtively as an argument against your opponents.

So LLOF is a chick.  How much of this sudden onslaught of "defenders" is a case of Virgin Knights In Shining Armor rallying out from their basements to the defense of A Real Live Girl
Quote from: Dead Kennedy on February 12, 2009, 02:12:04 AMShe has illustrated that in this very thread by both failing to defend herself (attacking me is not defending her ideas, it's changing the subject (to me)), and by hiding behind all of the Shining Knights rushing to her defense.

also, I checked out our boy DK.

turns out, he's posting from a couple miles down the street. I had gotten myself pretty excited about the idea of pooping in a bag (I ate taco bell AND curry yesterday), tracking down some pseudo-intellectual eastside twatwaffle, and "redecorating" his car and his bedroom window when the sad thought occured to me that DK doesn't drive (never got license after telling test administrator how dumb he was for not realizing that "traffic" is an emergent property of "cars" and therefore "merging" is a logical fallacy) and that his mom's basement, in fact, has no windows.

Go to town with it.

I'm still really amused that Jefe appealed to the "internet white knight" fallacy in an attempt to discredit anyone who argued against him, when everyone knows I'm a tranny.         

I didn't know you were a tranny. Explains a lot though...

So if I rush to DK's defense just because I want to get into his pants does that still make me an internet White Knight? (angry sex can be fun, too)

I can only imagine what DK will think when he logs back in and sees these two exploded threads.


Sadly, he'll probably pick and choose only the ad hominem arguments to rail against.

That would not be a White Knight, but a hot and sweaty night...

If he's smart he'll ignore us.  Which I do not foresee.

Somehow, neither do I.

Quote from: P3nT4gR4m on February 12, 2009, 12:17:21 PMAt which point did I accuse you of plagiarising? Unoriginal =/= copying. What I was implying is that your premise was the kind of shit that a million and one people can be heard espousing.

When you accused me of "lifting" my arguments from wikipedia or textbooks.

QuoteDon't even get me started on "cogito, ergo sum." that shit is three and a half centuries out of date "regurgitatum, ad nauseum" You want to talk geometry then yeah, he did some interesting shit but philosophically he was a fucking primate. Get over it.

Actually that's my point.   You seem to think that I am arguing in favor of Cartesian duality, which I can only explain by assuming you're a fucking moron who hasn't actually been reading the thread. 
To steal a person's voice is to censor them.  Change this sig and you are the censor. HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

Ah.  Welcome back, DK.  You might want to take a few minutes to read over a few of your threads.

There's a lot of people who want to talk with you.




Sadly, I now must leave for the day.  Enjoy your stay.
