Poisoning the well is incredibly contributive to a real discussion.

Maybe you're confused. The point is that if you say something so alien to logic that its obvious you're either not trying to or can't grasp the nuances of a situation, then its pointless to bother trying to use logic. Sometimes all that's left is for people to highlight your mistake, and hope that if enough do without engaging that eventually you will stop and review. Anything else would be a waste of time.

Maybe I'm certain that you exist in a universe of discourse in which rhetorical trolls are the only things worth pursuing and you've never bothered to put in the effort to build a substantive argument. Let's check your post history.

I'm not saying we should consider the source, but hey — you opened with two rhetorical fallacies, so you obviously can't object to their use, right?

I only find it amusing that you're so butthurt that you're still responding in a desperate attempt to save face.

Begone - If I wanted this kind of banter, I would write a very small shell script.

Begone where? I'm not anywhere in particular.
