You don't appear to know what that means :-/

There are two parties in this argument; you appear to belong to one party in this argument.

1. You propose that the other party in an argument are stupid people.

2. I point out that both parties are demonstrating an inability to reason.

3. You now claim that lack of reasoning from your party does not make the other party's argument stronger.

4. You completely missed my point that lack of reasoning from your party does not make your argument stronger.

Your link is frequently posted by people who have no wish to argue rationally. At this point, it's almost like an indicator for a troll :-/
