re: Anon Keeps Giving the KKK Free Publicity and Making the KKK Feel Relevant

quote:

Are you capable of any type of rational discussion or are you only capable of juvenile sarcasm?

tuba argues like a conspiracy theorist

he finds one small aspect of a point to try to create a "gotcha" that may not be related to teh point itself, but in his mind, if he can find one small gotcha, then the entire point will be discredited

so like you see the quote leading to this discussion tree. he focussed on the "white" part of the sentence. now syntax originally did not require this to be included in the comment (because of course white supremacists will be white), but it doesn't negate the point itself. tuba's comment tries to "gotcha" the comment by making the inclusion of "white" seem absurd. in his mind, the "gotcha" is used to discredit the point while avoiding discussing the point itself

i'm sure there is a technical term for this
