It's not 'no true Scotsman.' NTS applies to illogical segmentation: a Scotsman is such by birth and the only certain logical segments are those which would apply to all Scotsmen. For example, 'no true Scotsman is Spanish' is a logical statement whereas 'no true Scotsman likes tapas' is not. But the claim that no credible Pizzagate researcher believes that Hillary is the ringleader is not a no true Scotsman fallacy at all. To the contrary, it is merely stating that such a claim is not credible and therefore anyone making the claim is not credible. To further illustrate, 'no true Yankees fan supports the Red Sox,' 'no true man of peace supports genocide,' or 'no credible researcher believes Bigfoot shot JFK' are also not NTS fallacies.
This is off-topic, but it's a pet peeve when people who don't know what they're talking about toss around logical fallacy claims.
@AreWeSure is frankly way too smart for CTR. I don't quite understand AWS's angle- Contrarian asshole? Keeping us on our toes? I give them the benefit of doubt... AWS, do you hate our cause? Or desperately try to make us perfect so our cause is successful? Do you hunt red herrings, mistakes, logical fallacies, and whatnot, to try to polish the accusations, or because you really are a pedo protector?
...And, what did I do wrong in my comment, I'm dying to know.
ya, like you would really admit to this. So maybe not Scott but another buddy. Always on here doing damage control. Knowing so many precise details about Comet Ping Pong . So articulate and arty with that vaguely elitist attitude; That haughty arrogance that JA also displays here. (yes, he is here but you know that.) Treating us like we are all uncultured hillbilly sheep. (hint we are not all the same at all. You would be extremely surprised if you met me ) Mind you you are a lot nicer and not such a condescending ass.
You both joined this a day apart. But I suppose that you will say that is mere coincidence and us conspiracy theorists are always finding connections in everything.
It's alright. I enjoy your presence here. Enjoy the challenge and at least you, unlike your partner in crime who can't even find it in himself to respond back to us, the unwashed masses, takes time to respond. Don't go cause I outed you. All this is amusing to me. Have a wonderful day!
Are you saying you're not pretty?
You expect me to believe anyone would spend this much effort on here like you have
without it being personal?
Do you like beads?
Clearly. I will also add that I painstakingly read 100+ of his comments a couple days ago, disagreed with all of them, and used my right as a voater to express my disagreement in a civilized manner.
I fully take credit for his ccp going from +25 to -100 in one afternoon.

unlike the CRACKED piece from the other day, this one has my favorite strawman:
"...the Washington pizza shop Comet Ping Pong was headquarters for a child-abuse ring run by Hillary Clinton."
no credible person looking into pizzagate has ever claimed that Clinton or Podesta is the ringleader of anything.

you just made a no true scotsman argument.
