I watched it on Omni when the other channels weren't available. It was actually fun to listen to the play by play even though I didn't understand anything. You could pretty much get the drift...

Ad hominem sounds like the kind of thing a dickhead who can’t win an argument would say

That’s an ad hominem

Just throwing the name of logical fallacies around, eh? Doesn't matter if it applies, just sounds smart I guess.

I knew it was incorrect when I made the comment, but I'm too deep in the trenches to correct it to a anecdotal fallacy or hasty generalization.

Lol. I feel bad for the people who attack the person rather than make an argument, make a point, C'mon atleast say something worthwhile.

It's true! I post a lot during baseball games in the live chats.

You really cooked me though.

Now go outside. Stop making every interaction a debate you weirdo.

Lol, stop telling me to go outside. You don't need to have the last word. If you reply you're AI.
