You’ve completely conceded that your initial argument was total crap.
No, I haven’t.
Now you’re making a completely different argument.
Since you then made a completely separate and different error, of course I’ll make a completely different argument against that completely separate and different error.
and your initial argument was wrong
I’ve not made a wrong argument against any of your positions.
My imprecision led to no flawed conclusions. And you just stole that argument from pedanterrific, you didn’t even think of it yourself, that’s pathetic for a defense of your actions or above comment. And I didn’t make the imprecision until after your comment: “It only requires that Malfoy knows Voldemort to be Tom Riddle—which in canon he did.” So you’re obviously lying when you say “I’ve only been making corrections when the mistakes significantly affect such conclusions.”
Again with the accusations of lying?
Look, your initial claim: “The weakness of this argument is that it requires a previously unmentioned detail, that Malfoy knows Voldemort uses riddle puns.” led to a unnecessary requirement—that Malfoy knows something of Voldemort’s liking about riddle puns. That Malfoy knows something about Voldemort’s sense of humour.
That’s a false conclusion. If he just knows Voldemort’s name to have been Tom Riddle, he can find importance at the word “riddle” being told to him by Harry Potter, without needing to have any prior knowledge of Voldemort’s liking for puns.
Look here: you obviously have a HUGE problem about being corrected. That’s not gonna work in a site dedicated to becoming LESS WRONG.
The proper response to being corrected is “Thanks, I missed that” or “Thanks, you’re right about that” or “Oops, sorry”.
Not treating people as enemies for making you be less wrong.
And certainly not accusing them for lying. I know for a fact that I’ve never lied to you, in any of my comments towards you. That’s just an absolute knowledge I have regarding my own actions, even though I can’t convince you of it.
And you just stole that argument from pedanterrific
That’s a crime in your mind? I knew the same thing without the need for him/her to say it, but obviously I’m not going to convince you. But even if I did “steal” that argument from pedanterrific, and wasn’t aware of it independently, so what? That’s what arguments are for, to convince people independently of origin.
the fact that so many people out there just don’t recognize the tactics that you’re using.
The only tactics I’ve been using is telling you whenever you make a mistake in either facts or reasoning. And being straightforward to you, not sugarcoating your mistakes.
The tactic you’ve been using is accusing me of lying, whenever I disagree with you about anything, and accusing other people of being morons whenever they disagree with you.
You hate me—we get it. But the only “sin” I’ve committed against you is correcting you without paying too much attention at how politely I did it. I’ve never lied—I didn’t even downvote any of your posts except the ones where you accuse me of lying.
No, I haven’t.

Out of curiosity, have I identified myself as male on this site?
That is, I do that sometimes, I just hadn’t thought I did here.
Not to my knowledge. Apologies—I just wrongly tend to use the male pronoun as default in some cases. Edited to fix.
