If something is morally wrong because God says so and becomes morally right because god says so (pork, shellfish...), than there is no objective morality.

Isn't morality subjective by its own definition? It's what people think is wrong.

I was attempting to suggest that such a position is neither rational nor reasonable, not pass a judgement on whether such a moral code would be objective or not.

Y'all don't know what moral realism actually means... Ima leave that there cos there's no way I'm discussing it with you guys.

I want to add a few

Self evident
Line of reasoning
Causation
Moot (bonus point if preceded by "rendered")
Half of Traitorfish's vocabulary

Got another one! Finish your response to another post with "try again." even though you did not refute its arguments, just reiterated your own.

Takhisis · May 02, 2012, 04:35 PM

You haven't convinced me with those arguments. Try again.

Antilogic · May 02, 2012, 06:26 PM

"Try again" can only be legitimately used when the other person arguing has severe flaws in the argument that need to be corrected before their conclusions can be evaluated. The fail-to-convince version is just trolling.

Takhisis · May 02, 2012, 06:30 PM

O RLY? Try again.

Yeah, I see what you did there.

Takhisis · May 02, 2012, 06:33 PM

Still unconvinced. Try again.

Borachio · May 03, 2012, 03:36 AM

Right. I'll fall for this one. Here goes: AGAIN.

(how did I do?)

Quackers · May 03, 2012, 04:00 AM

Thats objectively false, (how are you using the word "the" here?

)

Try again.

Mr. Dictator · May 03, 2012, 04:40 AM

Does complaining about the quality of OT in 20XX compared to 20XX-n count?

Edit: this entire thread, I missed the "IRL" component. Even still, I've complained about the quality of this place compared to other years to friends who've never been here.

I don't even know how it comes up.

It's actually far more interesting and has more traction without this restriction , So buzz word away

Borachio · May 03, 2012, 05:28 AM

Category error. Seems to cover just about everything. Categorically.

Sure. The problem is usually people who are subject to Dunning-Kruger and fail to realize that their ingenious post lacks coherence and arguments.

Mise · May 03, 2012, 04:02 PM

I humbly submit "the Dunning-Kruger effect" to the list

Kan' Sharuminar · May 03, 2012, 04:06 PM

"Ivory tower" must have been one for OT for a while, 'cos I used for a CFC-based drawing long ago. I don't recall seeing it being used in years though, so it must have been a very brief while.
