The ‘evidence’ I need to provide to blackmailers is Argumentum ad thermitium. It’s more than sufficient.
Indeed. Sorry, since the conversation you posted in the middle of was one between those resistant to blackmail, like yourself, and those as yet unconvinced or unclear on the logic involved … I thought you were contributing to the conversation.
After all, thermite seems a little harsh for blackmail victims.
I was jokingly restating my justification; since, while I agree that “argumentum ad thermitium” (as you put it) is an excellent response to blackmailers, it’s worth having a strategy for dealing with blackmailer reasoning beyond that—for dealing with all the situations you will actually encounter such reasoning, those involving humans.
I guess it wasn’t very funny even before I killed it so thoroughly.
Anyway, this subthread has now become entirely devoted to discussing our misreadings of each other. Tapping out.
Well, I’m glad to hear you mostly agree with me.

This makes no sense as a reply to anything written on this entire page.
… seriously? Well, OK.
