Ahh! I follow now. He's trying to call me out for making a fallacious
argument/question. But then, isn't it possible for Ross to deny that he made
snide comments at all? Although I suspect that would be a pretty bold denial,
since Ross does make snide comments all the time.
I guess my point is that its a bit wild to accuse Lar of making both snide
comments and using false premises for those snide comments. Especially since
Ross is judging Lar for something that Ross does all the time. I'm sure that's
a fallacy to say that, but I don't think it's fair either.
