Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIV

[Lore]

I really like your thread here, or maybe your board generally

You’re welcome to stay

 

[Proper Gander]

We’re a jovial bunch when our team isn’t playing

Yeah I’ve got a real love of off-season also

 

[yodellinhank]

yep, moving the hawks to Tassie would be lol worthy

Tassie get a team and we get to keep folk like Bipolarbear (amongst others). Only down side I can see is Hawks are still in the league.

 

[Old Campaigner]

yep, aren't Hawthorn f’ed financially

and they are begging for free land and state funding for their new training base

Surely North moving would make more sense

How on earth can they be ****ed financially after the decade they've had?

 

[fairbump_playon]

We’re a jovial bunch when our team isn’t playing

Plus that one week of the year where we play well and beat a team in the bottom half of the 8. I’m always in great spirits that week.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Wash your hands with anything Tassie related Jeffrey.

Hawthorn has as much of a claim to Tassie as North Melbourne does.

[Zach Package]

Appropriate for the family club to move to Tassie given the entire population is related and their current training base is literally built on compacted garbage

apparently only made a 2 mil without Tassie 2 mil loss

 

[Dave]

How on earth can they be f’ed financially after the decade they've had?

The same way they were five years after their last golden era. Their fans are fickle, fair weather, entitled w***ers who go missing the minute they start losing.

Haha truth be told you'd probably gain me on the mainland.

[Blood Bomber]

What a weak bunch

 

[boncer34]

What a weak bunch

How would you react if our President refused to rule out relocation and labelled us the Tassie Bombers?

That just wouldn't happen now would it

 

[boncer34]

That just wouldn't happen now would it

That didn't answer my question.

I suspect if it did you'd called for their head. I sure as hell would.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

That didn't answer my question.

I suspect if it did you'd called for their head. I sure as hell would.

Same here, I'd be livid. If I was a Swans or Lions supporter back in the day I'm not sure if I would've followed them interstate.

 

[Blood Bomber]

That didn't answer my question.

I don't have to answer your question in the manner you want.

 

[Blood Bomber]

I don't have to answer your question in the manner you want.

And yet you can predict what my respinse would be on a hypothetical?
How bout we just agree to hate Hawthorn and jointly enjoy their demise champ.

 

[boncer34]

 

[Beerfish]

How would you react if our President refused to rule out relocation and labelled us the Tassie Bombers?

Seriously? Lol.

 

[11kgm]

our president isn't quiet that loopy

 

[boncer34]

Seriously? Lol.

Sure. Why not?

 

[Beerfish]

Sure. Why not?

Because * Hawthorn. How bout that?

 

[boncer34]

Because fu** Hawthorn. How bout that?

I like to mix things up.

 

[Jade]

What drivel. If you think McGuire deserves his predicament then you need to argue *that*. But instead, your feeble argument was "well it's ok because he isn't *really* being harmed is he?"

Strawman.

AGAIN.

I'll repeat, AGAIN, what I ACTUALLY said:

"Strawman.

No one said that at all. There isn't a mob outside Ed's house, and his livelihood has barely suffered a speedbump.

What people HAVE said is that he probably should step down from the Collingwood presidency immediately."

So my counterargument is "on that exact same basis you can argue that Lumumba also hasn't been harmed".

Yeahhhhh...

There's a term for that.

Wait for it.

Here it comes.

One more second...

"False equivalence".

So no. No false equivalency. It's exactly equivalent because I was arguing against precisely your argument. Sorry you got this wrong and sorry you don't understand logic so you just proffer up what you believe to be fallacies (but you don't understand why) but that's just how it is.

Yeah, it's a false equivalency.

And what argument.

I didn't make one - what I said was that people aren't howling for McGuire to be hung, and that what people have said by and large is that McGuire should step down.

Oafish or not, it wasn't false. It was exactly analogous. It demonstrated how stupid your position is.

My position was 'people have said this'.

I'll repeat. Taking your *exact* argument to its logical conclusion in order to demonstrate that it's terrible is not a fallacy. It's a perfectly valid method of debate.

You're welcome.

You can repeat it as much as you like, I'd have to have MADE an argument for you to 'take it to its logical conclusion.

See how that works pumpkin?

I don't know where you got the idea you can argue from. But that place is wrong.

I mean, you wrote a whole bunch of drivel but not once did you ever come close to attempting to answer my question.

Listen I will simple it down for you ok because you need it.

You said: McGuire is not being harmed *because* there is no frontyard mob.

That was your argument. I thought such an argument intensely stupid of course (because it is) and to point out why it is intensely stupid I said

"well under that metric Lumumba is unharmed too"

Which is a false equivalency.

Now, you have to explain why a lack of a frontyard mob is a good metric for McGuire but not Lumumba.

Just to reiterate - this is *your* [stupid] metric not mine.

No, I don't. To do so would be to do what people who sprout false equivalencies want - for you to treat them as a respectable position to argue against.

Which of course they're not.

Because they're a false equivalency.

Now try again.

Sweetheart, you are the proverbial pigeon on the chessboard.
