Congratulations, Old Guy! You've learned to cut-and-paste stuff that you've cut-and-paste before.

I had several Logic courses in college, Old Guy, and that and the study of Ethics have always been interests of mine. There's not a helluva lot you can tell me about Logic that I don't already know, including what's a fallacy and what isn't. I haven't done an actual count, but you probably use more ad hominem attacks than anyone here.

What you need to do is stop your incessant cutting-and-pasting. That's a tacit "Argument from Authority" fallacy. And second, you should try to actually formulate an argument of your own, just to see if you can. So far, others have done that, but you have not.

Your favorite fallacy seems to be to respond to questions by demanding that others answer a question of yours first. That's a variation on the "Red Herring" fallacy, which involves introducing another topic in order to divert attention form the original argument.
