Yeah but I've seen this amongst school children - or drunk hecklers who try and take down comedians... they think that by laughing at something their friend said which isn't funny will present the facade of group solidarity (even when they are wrong).

Morons do it, and frequently.

That is stupid. By the same logic;
I eat food. Terry Gilliam eats food. Therefore, I am Terry Gilliam. I am also; Franz Kafka, Amanda Palmer, Jhonen Vasquez, Andrew Eldritch, Emma Glodman and a chipmunk. And if your going to use the word façade, at least add the cedilla.

Simply turning logic on it's head like a french postmodernist isn't clever - go back and read some decent arguments.

you know mr helpman she has a point, granted a rather round about point but a point none the less.

It may not be clever, but my point still stands; just because someone does one thing, it doesn't mean that they are like others who do the same thing for a different reason. It wasn't a very clear argument though, so I get why you didn't understand.

Actually your statement was far from parallel with his. He was pointing out how children will go into circle jerk mode when one of their own is threatened in an attempt to lift one another's spirits.

Your statement was, while valid, completely on another topic having something to do with how a person will try to liken themselves to another through an association of actions. That has nothing to do with what he was pointing out.

And in a way, you were agreeing with him. The logic of group solidarity through association of actions is an illusion, placing Shade and Saya in the wrong.

You're the best defender on Helpmann's team.

No it wasn't. Because even if Helpmann weren't using logic, which he was, it still wouldn't be ironic in the slightest. I suppose it'd be funny to somebody who is ignorant to the definitions of logic and irony but then again that kind of person could probably laugh at anything they want to.

Right. I'm just going to explain the joke to you so that YOU TOO can enjoy its mild humour.
1. I declare Helpmann's statement illogical due to its lack of logic.
2. I say that therefore he must be a moron. Since this connection is also illogical, it has a link to a page on irony.

If you weren't so paranoid regarding the wellbeing of your boyfriend's e-penis, you might have gotten it.

Shade is a nice guy, if your going to post a thread saying (person) is an idiot, or whatever... do so to me. Shade doesn't deserve this.
