Otherwise it's just another instance of you typing something meaningless and pretending you authored a substantive reply, or presented in another way...

A simple guide to "whataboutism". [View all] guillaumeb Oct 2018 OP

Meanwhile here's the part you ignored, which evidently didn't support your half-fast interpretation Major Nikon Oct 2018 #1

Your addition in no way conflicts with what I wrote. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #2

Horseshit Major Nikon Oct 2018 #3

And you fall back on your usual responses. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #4

If by 'usual' you mean contradicting horseshit, then I agree Major Nikon Oct 2018 #6

You are consistent. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #7

This is actually quite funny Major Nikon Oct 2018 #11

Perhaps you should reread the definition. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #16

Perhaps you should consider something other than a cliche for a reply Major Nikon Oct 2018 #24

Againm you demonstrate a lack of understanding. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #34

You can't even manage to understand it's your definition, not mine Major Nikon Oct 2018 #35

Further confirmation that you have no interest in dialogue. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #39

Further confirmation you'd rather divert than respond to criticism Major Nikon Oct 2018 #46

Well you do post a lot of turtles. Just sayin. marylandblue Oct 2018 #27

When someone authors a faceplant reply, it's good to have a visual Major Nikon Oct 2018 #29

I'm confused, I thought turtle drops were a different kind of failure from penguin falls marylandblue Oct 2018 #50

I'm fond of turtles myself. So I wish they would've made up another sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #63

Your intent is to divert, which is easily established because you say it is used here. marylandblue Oct 2018 #9

Yep a pesky little problem he has attributing intent to others... Major Nikon Oct 2018 #12

I understand that many do not like having their tactics discussed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #14

Sure, some author ad nauseum threads incessantly whining when their tactics are revealed Major Nikon Oct 2018 #25

Agreed. You are not saying. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #36

If I did, would I be wrong? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #41

You are never wrong when you say nothing. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #42

You should learn to read between the lines Major Nikon Oct 2018 #44

You might try reading what is in the lines. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #45

I hope this isn't your best effort Major Nikon Oct 2018 #47

I like the raccoon. marylandblue Oct 2018 #102

😉 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #68

I think you don't like your tactics discussed either. marylandblue Oct 2018 #28

This entire thread(and not the only one) is butthurt after his tactics were called out Major Nikon Oct 2018 #30

A nice try at diversion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #13

No diversion, because if you think it is a diversion, I will tell you how to thwart it marylandblue Oct 2018 #18

A failed try at diversion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #20

Yes I could have, but I felt it was important to illustrate a point marylandblue Oct 2018 #21

The actual point is to examine whataboutism. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #22

There you see, that's exactly what we are talking about marylandblue Oct 2018 #23

I am not including "intent". guillaumeb Oct 2018 #32

You engage in whataboutism yourself and the only defense I've seen you make marylandblue Oct 2018 #56

And now you proceed from whataboutism guillaumeb Oct 2018 #76

Irony is all that's left marylandblue Oct 2018 #93

For a few, this forum is reserved for attacking religion. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #116

That does not excuse your own behavior marylandblue Oct 2018 #118

Below: sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #60

Arguing intent is pointless in an internet discussion marylandblue Oct 2018 #88

A voice of reason, you, but I will continue to have a fondness for Mssr. Guillaume. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #90

Just wanted to add: sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #91

I disagree with questioning a theist's intent as well marylandblue Oct 2018 #92

An extended lesson in whaddabout with a sprinkling of Franglais. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #103

Sure, kinda like when child rape apologists offer whataboutism in response to RCC criticism Major Nikon Oct 2018 #26

Making another unsubstantiated accusation? guillaumeb Oct 2018 #33

Ain' it all de-vine? 😤 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #51

I wish we could stop arguing about fallacies marylandblue Oct 2018 #58

I yam normally dysfunctional. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #62

Headline: "Pope raises man from dead." Response: "What about..." Beartracks Oct 2018 #5

Agreed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #8

Interestingly enough your own source calls bullshit Major Nikon Oct 2018 #31

Again, you are demonstrating one thing. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #37

You mean my definition, or yours? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #38

Sad. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #40

Why would I want to remedy for your faceplants when so much entertainment value is involved? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #48

U bin steelin' mah 'just sayin'. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #52

Hay now. Quite difficult for me to utter, but those aminal sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #57

Very light indeed. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #75

There's still a minuscule of hope if a hairline crack will let in some o' dat light. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #87

If the Pope raised someone from the dead, most atheists and agnostics would demand evidence marylandblue Oct 2018 #10

Which ignores what was said. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #15

No it's a straight forward response to an empirical question marylandblue Oct 2018 #17

The response illustrated the whataboutism that accompaniers evry post. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #19

It better demonstrates those who invent subliterate definitions and apply them arbitrarily Major Nikon Oct 2018 #71

You demonstrate a lack of understanding of the definition. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #77

You can't even manage to understand who quoted the definition to begin with Major Nikon Oct 2018 #79

Amazing that you cannot follow your own posts. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #81

You stole my line! Major Nikon Oct 2018 #82

Good luck. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #83

Let's recap Major Nikon Oct 2018 #84

You do have a gif(t). guillaumeb Oct 2018 #115

Since you've chosen condescension rather than substance, I'll simply remind you of your failure Major Nikon Oct 2018 #117

The pope? 🤔 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #55

Can the Ecumenical Patriarch do it too? marylandblue Oct 2018 #59

No. No co-officiating at a raising of the reposed. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #61

I like when people get along marylandblue Oct 2018 #64

You know you know church ecclesiology. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #65

Not cross with you marylandblue Oct 2018 #66

It's been 'hear/tell' that Orthodox have been labeled as the schismatics, and sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #67

Is it unintended irony that this thread violates the 18th Commandment? Major Nikon Oct 2018 #43

Ground Control to Major... sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #54

No, but you can certainly create your own for that Major Nikon Oct 2018 #70

😁 sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #85

You really don't understand whataboutism edhopper Oct 2018 #49

So now all Orthodox jurisdictions of varied ethnicity stink? sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #53

Not sure what you mean? edhopper Oct 2018 #72

When the Orthodox Faith is disparaged, it sounds sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #89

You should hold your clergy to account. marylandblue Oct 2018 #94

If me and mine were communicating in a jurisdiction that some on here mb referring to, sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #100

Your talking to an atheist edhopper Oct 2018 #95

I realize you are, I know you don't, that's your conclusion. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #96

BTW edhopper Oct 2018 #98

Whew! I am relieved! No really. This religion thingy is a sticky wicket. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #101

Also, P.S., stay as you are. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #97

Thanks edhopper Oct 2018 #99

This has been explained repeatedly. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #69

Which is just another instance of inventing nonsense to counter those who disagree Major Nikon Oct 2018 #74

Not 'imaginary'. Last time I sunned myself, I turned a lovely nut brown. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #86

And here's me the prez by proxy. 📣👏 👍🤙✔⭐🆗 🇻 🇬❗ sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #104

But, Tu Quoque.... MineralMan Oct 2018 #73

Exactly. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #78

Agreed Major Nikon Oct 2018 #80

Again, you are demonstrating one thing. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #105

I'm sure you have convinced yourself Major Nikon Oct 2018 #106

Simplistic, and untrue. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #107

If this continues, I'm resigning from the choir. MineralMan Oct 2018 #108

No refunds on the annual dues Major Nikon Oct 2018 #109

Further confirmation that you have no interest in dialogue. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #110

More diversion Major Nikon Oct 2018 #113

Well, that might change my mind. MineralMan Oct 2018 #111

Yeah, but what about patriotism? Act_of_Reparation Oct 2018 #112
