So you're inviting people to witness the train wreck of an OP from which you summarily fled!!?

EDIT: My bad, you fled from the one on evolution, preferring to remain vague about your "other mechanisms" rather than state them.

Humour is fine, but it cannot double as a logical argument.

It is obvious that he is creating wiggle room because his argument is weak.

You STILL don't know what he is claiming to be fact, and what is sarcasm. So how can you debate with him?

This is just a way of being able to revise and obfuscate his assertions according to the replies.

Done persistently, it is called trolling.



You can appeal to emotion, but the fact is LOGIC IS serious, dude.

You have to take your pick and not pretend to be talking science when you are not.

I don't mind jokes, sarcasm, insults etc.

But they have to be separate from the logic, otherwise the discussion becomes illogical and pointless.

You need some p)ussy. It will help relieve some of that pent up energy you've built up.

He could be serious and he could also be exergerrating, but at first I didn't take him seriously when he mentioned brain touch,I took it as him trying to emphasize a point with humour,guy chillax it's not everything everyone says on nairaland that is serious,some people can be sarcastic and when you insisted that he was serious about the braintouch ish, he had to silent you by agreeing that he was serious,again out of sarcasm,it happens when someone uses sarcasm and you don't get it,the person would use sarcasm again (saying he was serious about the sarcastic claim) So you might see how funny you are for not seeing the sarcasm in the braintouch he mentioned. Don't be too serious guy

It's sad that you actually needed to explain this to someone.
