I went through my message a few times just now, and for the life of me I can't find the place that ignited your vitriol. I was prepared to say "I apologize, I'm sorry I offended you," but in retrospect, I see now way which I could.

My post concerned a previous comnmenter's logical error. It explained the error as clearly as I could, although you seem to have missed that point. You do realize that you can change the word "value" in my post to "fundamental value" or "intrinsic value" or "donuts" and it will still exemplify the error, right? People who believe arguments presented in this form believe a clear falsehood. Let me be specific again, it's not the conclusion that's false, but the argument itself is flawed. If you believe a flawed argument, then you are being fooled.

Everything else that you posted comes from you. Every friggin thing, and that's hilarious, because it's so friggin irrelevant to my post. The argument is flawed, and you're having a tizzy for some unknown reason. That's fine, up to the point where you start trying to claim any kind of knowledge about me, at which point it becomes a straight-up lie.

So, apologize. You apologize to me. Apologize for believing that which is obviously flawed. Apologize for claiming that you know what I want, and then saying "nice projecting". Re-read your last three sentences. If you understand what either "projecting" and "straw man" are, then you will notice it in your own handiwork. How you saw it in mine is anyone's guess.

So, crystal clear, _you_ apologize to _me_ because _you_ are being an illogical _ass_.
