That was just lar making another
snide comment, based on false premise.

Snide comments can have premises?  I thought they were just mean.

Rosco, are your snide comments generally based on true premises?

LOL Lenny, have you stopped beating children senseless??????

Maybe I'm slow, but I'm not following here.  What does this even mean?

Its called a Loaded Question, a type of fallacious argument.  A question with a
false, disputed, or question-begging presupposition[1].

In your case the presupposition is that ROSCO's comments are snide.  Ross in
turn countered with the classic example is 'When did you stop beating your
children?' which you apparently missed entirely.

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.

So basically you're saying Ross is a hypocrite?  Well, I'm a hypocrite and so
are you, Larry, and everyone else in the world.  The person who says they've
never been hypocritical is not only a hypocrite but a liar as well.  The world
would be awfully quiet if every hypocrite stopped talking.
