    No criticism of the cited source.

      um why wouldn't someone quote a source that defines something as a fallacy as support for what that fallacy is?

      If I wanted to show you that the "No True Scotsman" fallacy was a fallacy, I would quote you a source that describes that fallacy.

      So if that was what you were saying, it makes no sense to complain about MM's source.

      Nice try.

        I didn't say "support for what that fallacy is", I said "support for that fallacy".

        Once again, I did not complain about his source, only about his use of it.

        This is a colossal waste of time.

          Sure it is always a 'waste of time' when you lose face and want it all to just go away. The only reason I even pursued it was because you have a tendency to do that exact thing to others with your nitpicking. Maybe you should rethink that now that you know how it feels.

            You aren't nitpicking Sparko, you're misunderstanding. If you're pursuing this to show me how it feels, you should have made sure I was actually wrong. Because as it is, you're only showing me what it's like to be hassled by idiots, not what it's like to be corrected.
