About a year ago, Webb promoted "GamerGate." That turned out to be 100% BS.

Now he is pushing "MangoGate." LOL

He also promotes "Abel Danger," which is a PROVEN DISINFO outfit.

Believe that bullcrap at your own risk, especially the stuff that cannot be independently verified or refuted.

How familiar are you with logical fallacies?

This is a logical fallacy called "Begging the Question":

"About a year ago, Webb promoted "GamerGate." That turned out to be 100% BS. Now he is pushing "MangoGate." LOL"

Your logic is because George was wrong about GamerGate he is now wrong about MangoGate.

You can't do that. You actually have to prove WHY he's wrong. You're being intellectually lazy.

Yes, but no. Because he is wrong about one thing does not mean he is wrong about a different thing. But if the feeling is that he intentionally misled, he can be discredited and not a useful verifier of events or theories.

Here, I'll dumb this down so you can grasp it -

Ever set foot in a courtroom?

ANY testimony is ALL about credibility.

Webb is a disseminator of disinfo, ergo he has NO CREDIBILITY..

"Webb is a disseminator of disinfo"

What about MangoGate don't you believe?

That's not "Begging the Question." It's closer to Ad Hominem. And it's not Ad Hominem either if the question is why should I trust George Webb? Then this is completely relevant and nonfallacious evidence.

AreYouShill -- you're back. We've missed you.

Ahem.... @DarkMath has it right. Equally, it could be a composition/division fallacy -- Assuming that what is true about one part of something must be applied to all, or other, parts of it. As well, perhaps the genetic fallacy -- judging something good or bad based solely on where or from whom the information came. Or simply an anecdotal fallacy -- using personal experience or an isolated example instead of a valid argument, especially to dismiss statistics. However, one fallacy it most certainly is not is the Ad Hominem fallacy -- 'against the man,' -- attacking one's character or personal traits in order to discredit or undermine an argument.

And it's not Ad Hominem either if the question is why should I trust George Webb?

Why did you defeat your own argument?

Your handlers aren't giving you the proper care that a shillibasterly cucklefin deserves. You should prepare a lengthy essay explaining why you need better shillifactor training to meet the insatiable needs of your new pay raise.
