A simple guide to "whataboutism". [View all] guillaumeb Oct 2018 OP
Meanwhile here's the part you ignored, which evidently didn't support your half-fast interpretation Major Nikon Oct 2018 #1
Your addition in no way conflicts with what I wrote. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #2
Horseshit Major Nikon Oct 2018 #3
And you fall back on your usual responses. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #4
If by 'usual' you mean contradicting horseshit, then I agree Major Nikon Oct 2018 #6
You are consistent. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #7
This is actually quite funny Major Nikon Oct 2018 #11
Perhaps you should reread the definition. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #16
Perhaps you should consider something other than a cliche for a reply Major Nikon Oct 2018 #24
Againm you demonstrate a lack of understanding. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #34
You can't even manage to understand it's your definition, not mine Major Nikon Oct 2018 #35
Further confirmation that you have no interest in dialogue. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #39
Further confirmation you'd rather divert than respond to criticism Major Nikon Oct 2018 #46
Well you do post a lot of turtles. Just sayin. marylandblue Oct 2018 #27
When someone authors a faceplant reply, it's good to have a visual Major Nikon Oct 2018 #29
I'm confused, I thought turtle drops were a different kind of failure from penguin falls marylandblue Oct 2018 #50
I'm fond of turtles myself. So I wish they would've made up another sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #63
Your intent is to divert, which is easily established because you say it is used here. marylandblue Oct 2018 #9
Yep a pesky little problem he has attributing intent to others... Major Nikon Oct 2018 #12
I understand that many do not like having their tactics discussed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #14
Sure, some author ad nauseum threads incessantly whining when their tactics are revealed Major Nikon Oct 2018 #25
Agreed. You are not saying. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #36
If I did, would I be wrong? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #41
You are never wrong when you say nothing. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #42
You should learn to read between the lines Major Nikon Oct 2018 #44
You might try reading what is in the lines. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #45
I hope this isn't your best effort Major Nikon Oct 2018 #47
I like the raccoon. marylandblue Oct 2018 #102
😉 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #68
I think you don't like your tactics discussed either. marylandblue Oct 2018 #28
This entire thread(and not the only one) is butthurt after his tactics were called out Major Nikon Oct 2018 #30
A nice try at diversion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #13
No diversion, because if you think it is a diversion, I will tell you how to thwart it marylandblue Oct 2018 #18
A failed try at diversion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #20
Yes I could have, but I felt it was important to illustrate a point marylandblue Oct 2018 #21
The actual point is to examine whataboutism. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #22
There you see, that's exactly what we are talking about marylandblue Oct 2018 #23
I am not including "intent". guillaumeb Oct 2018 #32
You engage in whataboutism yourself and the only defense I've seen you make marylandblue Oct 2018 #56
And now you proceed from whataboutism guillaumeb Oct 2018 #76
Irony is all that's left marylandblue Oct 2018 #93
For a few, this forum is reserved for attacking religion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #116
That does not excuse your own behavior marylandblue Oct 2018 #118
Below: sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #60
Arguing intent is pointless in an internet discussion marylandblue Oct 2018 #88
A voice of reason, you, but I will continue to have a fondness for Mssr. Guillaume. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #90
Just wanted to add: sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #91
I disagree with questioning a theist's intent as well marylandblue Oct 2018 #92
An extended lesson in whaddabout with a sprinkling of Franglais. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #103
Sure, kinda like when child rape apologists offer whataboutism in response to RCC criticism Major Nikon Oct 2018 #26
Making another unsubstantiated accusation? guillaumeb Oct 2018 #33
Ain' it all de-vine? 😤 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #51
I wish we could stop arguing about fallacies marylandblue Oct 2018 #58
I yam normally dysfunctional. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #62
Headline: "Pope raises man from dead." Response: "What about..." Beartracks Oct 2018 #5
Agreed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #8
Interestingly enough your own source calls bullshit Major Nikon Oct 2018 #31
Again, you are demonstrating one thing. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #37
You mean my definition, or yours? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #38
Sad. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #40
Why would I want to remedy for your faceplants when so much entertainment value is involved? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #48
U bin steelin' mah 'just sayin'. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #52
Hay now. Quite difficult for me to utter, but those aminal sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #57
Very light indeed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #75
There's still a minuscule of hope if a hairline crack will let in some o' dat light. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #87
If the Pope raised someone from the dead, most atheists and agnostics would demand evidence marylandblue Oct 2018 #10
Which ignores what was said. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #15
No it's a straight forward response to an empirical question marylandblue Oct 2018 #17
The response illustrated the whataboutism that accompaniers evry post. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #19
It better demonstrates those who invent subliterate definitions and apply them arbitrarily Major Nikon Oct 2018 #71
You demonstrate a lack of understanding of the definition. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #77
You can't even manage to understand who quoted the definition to begin with Major Nikon Oct 2018 #79
Amazing that you cannot follow your own posts. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #81
You stole my line! Major Nikon Oct 2018 #82
Good luck. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #83
Let's recap Major Nikon Oct 2018 #84
You do have a gif(t). guillaumeb Oct 2018 #115
Since you've chosen condescension rather than substance, I'll simply remind you of your failure Major Nikon Oct 2018 #117
The pope? 🤔 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #55
Can the Ecumenical Patriarch do it too? marylandblue Oct 2018 #59
No. No co-officiating at a raising of the reposed. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #61
I like when people get along marylandblue Oct 2018 #64
You know you know church ecclesiology. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #65
Not cross with you marylandblue Oct 2018 #66
It's been 'hear/tell' that Orthodox have been labeled as the schismatics, and sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #67
Is it unintended irony that this thread violates the 18th Commandment? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #43
Ground Control to Major... sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #54
No, but you can certainly create your own for that Major Nikon Oct 2018 #70
😁 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #85
You really don't understand whataboutism edhopper Oct 2018 #49
So now all Orthodox jurisdictions of varied ethnicity stink? sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #53
Not sure what you mean? edhopper Oct 2018 #72
When the Orthodox Faith is disparaged, it sounds sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #89
You should hold your clergy to account. marylandblue Oct 2018 #94
If me and mine were communicating in a jurisdiction that some on here mb referring to, sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #100
Your talking to an atheist edhopper Oct 2018 #95
I realize you are, I know you don't, that's your conclusion. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #96
BTW edhopper Oct 2018 #98
Whew! I am relieved! No really. This religion thingy is a sticky wicket. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #101
Also, P.S., stay as you are. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #97
Thanks edhopper Oct 2018 #99
This has been explained repeatedly. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #69
Which is just another instance of inventing nonsense to counter those who disagree Major Nikon Oct 2018 #74
Not 'imaginary'. Last time I sunned myself, I turned a lovely nut brown. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #86
And here's me the prez by proxy. 📣👏 👍🤙✔⭐🆗 🇻 🇬❗ sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #104
But, Tu Quoque.... MineralMan Oct 2018 #73
Exactly. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #78
Agreed Major Nikon Oct 2018 #80
Again, you are demonstrating one thing. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #105
I'm sure you have convinced yourself Major Nikon Oct 2018 #106
Simplistic, and untrue. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #107
If this continues, I'm resigning from the choir. MineralMan Oct 2018 #108
No refunds on the annual dues Major Nikon Oct 2018 #109
Further confirmation that you have no interest in dialogue. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #110
More diversion Major Nikon Oct 2018 #113
Well, that might change my mind. MineralMan Oct 2018 #111
Yeah, but what about patriotism? Act_of_Reparation Oct 2018 #112
