@joefromchicago,
You quoted Scruton...."(paraphrased)...if Heidegger is nonsense then it's laughable simple". You then said you found it "laughable simple" implying that it was
therefore nonsense, which as you well know is the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
You operate on what I call "courtroom tactics" for want of a better word. If it suits you to pull others up on their logic you do. If it suits you to use my cynicism of logic against me you will. But this is
philosophy not Perry Mason. And you don't
do philosophy.
