By pratts' own logic, he/she actually
is a murderer just because I said so. But the logic is faulty. By my own logic, I don't call pratts a murderer.
pratts vehemently opposed this statement, hence he/she disagrees with his/her own logic.
That is exactly what I am saying. That logic is faulty. But it is pratts' logic, not mine. That logic states that anyone can say any rubbish and it must be true because a saying can be quoted in its defence without understanding it - "there is no smoke without fire".
I understand your point of view but I'm not really sure what/who the discussion is about and in what context pratts is using that logic for the contestant (I think MT) in question. It might be faulty but you could refute that without bringing her personally into the discussion. Calling another member a murderer is insensitive even if you're kidding, being sarcastic, or trying to prove a point. I hope you understand what I mean.
