Outrageously contrarian assertion

[BurtWorm]

Friedmanesque plea to be heard out. Semi-reasonable argument with two or three logical fallacies hidden deep inside.

Rhetorical arms-akimbo stance, daring anyone to disagree. (Secret glee over impending sky-rocketing post count.)

1. Inquiry as to why you are posting this on a political website.

Ride and dismissive smilie indicating I have no interest in hearing your response to the above question.

[Shine]

2. Scathing flame of previously stated outrageous contrarian assertion....

couched in heavy sarcasm....followed by a popcorn smilie. :popcorn:

[redqueen]

3. Oblique suggestion that you are someone who shouldn't be on this site.

Coy wise-crackery in-joke rib-nudges to other DUers who are hip to such things.

so as to NOT look like a mole/Freeper

[billyskank]

6. Pointing out that the Nazis thought the same

as the opinion expressed in the OP.

[Cabcere]

7. Ellipsis

followed by numerous eye-roll smilies.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Smug and confident pleonasmic reductio ad absurdum with tell-tale aposiopesis

on a point not contained in the initial assertion, delivered with spit-inducing ALL CAPS bomphiologia.

11. Request for payment for keyboard which is now covered with spit coffee.

Insertion of smiley rolling on the floor laughing its ass off.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Mildly harmful and ad hominem assertion about the low level of breeding

of people who spit on their keyboards and totally arrogant suggestion that it probably wasn't real coffee, based solely on my particularly narrow and elitist definition that requires "real" coffee to be made to exacting and precise specifications, and that it's only through a thoroughly humble and heartfelt sense of noblesse oblige that I am here to help you.

[BurtWorm]

19. Slow realization that the assertion hits too close to home.

Hours spent locked in room with head under blanket, moistened by bitter tears.

[rug]

9. Defiant bellicose defense of outrageously contrarian assertion.

[Rob H.]

10. Notice that mods have been alerted, and

sarcastic offer of congratulations on being added to my ignore list.

[Ian David]

15. Visual non-sequitur

[fudge stripe cookays]

16. Suggestion of ridiculous "straw man" argument...

And assertions that show I have no idea of what a straw man actually IS.

[Deep13]

18. Seemingly damaging fact that upon further reflection...

...is revealed to be so tangential that it has nothing to do with what you are talking about.

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. Oblique invitation to place your cranium in your posterior.

[DarkTirade]

21. Indignant, yet late to the party angry comment!

Comparison to an unfavorable historical or political figure, followed by a bad straw man argument!
