No true-Scotsmen are running loose in the 'Other' place....

Sheesh, did they think we wouldn't notice, are ignorant, or disengeneous.
Or maybe a combination of the above.

You must understand that they are always running loose there. It is the best argument they can come up with. That is why I normally avoid that place. Such a waste of my time.

A No True-Scotsman logical fallacy goes like "No True Scotsman would do x. If he did x then he is no True Scotsman.".
In the Religion Group, the Other Place, this appears as someone denying that a christian who does something that a poster disagrees with, is not really a christian.
In other words noone who does something bad is a christian, which is poppycock.
