I am hammering away at you, Lawrence, because I believe you have failed to
understand the nature of the arguments here
*and* are attacking others for allegedly not understanding them.

You are hammering me in such a way as to make me think you are in Simon's
state: unable to appreciate or understand the significance and nature of a
fallacy, and by implication, the significance and nature of Logic. Perhaps the
practice of Logic is becoming a lost art in this modern world. To be free of
the rules of logic seems to encourage many to make the most outlandish and
ridiculous statements and draw the most absurd conclusions. The Sam Harris
article quoted by Eric provides several cogent and alarming of examples of the
danger such faulty thinking can cause.

Lawrence will be able to tell you which Fallacy you committed in
assuming this helps us determine whether there are any moderates
in the Middle East
