do you even know what the term 'circular logic' means? here: Circular logic, also known as circular reasoning, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is assumed in the premises"

You seem to have failed to notice that is what you did. You (falsely by the way) concluded this is how to prove something. Then you said I failed because I did not do that.

no, you don't seem able to understand the simple concept of 'adding more information to a previous argument'. I first said "and I can prove it by quoting you". then, in my next post I added to it by saying "and if you could you would have quoted me. but you can't". no circular logic. it's unfortunate that you can't understand it.

Of course I did. And you weren't able to provide any argument against it.

Actually, I did. You just (falsely by the way) claimed otherwise.

I say you didn't provide any argument. you say you did. then quote it.

You introduced the topic of diversity

both the /. post and my reply discussed the diversity of the crew. nothing wrong with either post.

in a politicized manner.

you did that by dropping the term 'diversity hire'. you threw a molotov bomb to a pretty innocent discussion .

That implicitly question the qualifications.

only in your ignorant mind.

no matter how much you try to wiggle out of it, the fact that you were the first to use the term 'nazi' won't change.

Wrong again, I wrote "grammar nazi",

you used the word "nazi".

which is something different than a nazi.

I never claimed otherwise. I only claimed you used the word "nazi". four letters: n a z i.

You then were the first to refer to historical nazi.

I didn't use the word historical. due to your extreme ignorance you're hallucinating.

let's make it simple so you can follow along.

did I talk about diversity? yes

did I use the term 'diversity hire'? no

did you use the term 'diversity hire'? yes

did I talk about the qualifications of one group but omit the qualifications of another? no

did you omit the qualifications of the white men while mentioning those of all other groups? yes

look in this mirror to find the ignorant party in this discussion.

Not necessary. You circular logic was of no value, beside the humor of you talking to yourself.

do you even know what the term 'circular logic' means?

here: Circular logic, also known as circular reasoning, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is assumed in the premises, meaning the argument goes in a circle without providing independent evidence. For example, saying "This medicine works because it is effective" is circular reasoning, as it restates the claim without offering proof.

I added more information to my previous post. thus the word 'and' in the beginning. but doing this is unfamiliar to you. so you find it funny. that's unfortunate. I'm telling you, your local library can help you.

You proved nothing, you merely explained your rationalization for your erroneous beliefs.

Of course I did. And you weren't able to provide any argument against it.

The fact remains, you started a conversation on diversity in a politicized post.

I responded to the original /. post which mentioned the diversity of the crew. Nothing wrong with talking about the diversity of the crew. Then you come along and drop the term 'diversity hires'. and now you're trying to accuse me of a politicized post. think about it:.

I corrected the erroneous implications you created.

those "erroneous implications" are figments of your ignorant imagination.

LOL. You need to have an extended conversation with that librarian of yours. She can help you distinguish between "grammar nazi" and "nazi". Hint, two very different things. And only you used the latter.

no matter how much you try to wiggle out of it, the fact that you were the first to use the term 'nazi' won't change. drop the thresholds to 0, load all comments, do a CTRL-F for nazi, and see where it first appears. your words aren't going anywhere.

LOL. Another dodge.

the dodge is yours and only yours. once again, you're trying to wiggle out of omitting the qualifications of the white men using projection. nice try but everything you said, or didn't, isn't going away.

LOL. You are responding to yourself. You wrote both of those lines.

that's why I used the word 'and'. I just added more information to my previous post. learn to read.

going to your public library and speaking to a librarian about your problem can be a big help

Nope. You just offer dodges and rationalizations.

unlike you I proved my claim. otoh, not only you didn't, you had the gall to behave as you did. your sense of entitlement is off the charts.

So it was you, sorry being a grammar nazi does not change any of this.

Calling a person who disagrees a nazi. And most laughable of all, calling the person

you were the first to use the word nazi. you can see it in the quoted text .

defending? quite the opposite. you omitted the qualifications of the white men. they are automatically qualified in your mind just by being while men.

you should be ashamed.

Are you so polical you can't see the absurdity there?

after you come back from the library, look in the mirror to see the absurd person in this conversation.

You already confessed to injecting diversity,

everyone can see your ignorance. there is nothing you can do about it.

you chose to copy and paste the text that you did. you chose to omit the qualifications of the white men, not nasa. nasa didn't write your post. you have agency. don't hide behind nasa. nasa wasn't selective when it provided the qualifications of the astronauts, you were.

The person of color has 3 masters degrees in engineering and science, and is a naval aviator who flew F/A-18 and E/A-18, a served on the International Space Station. The woman has a masters in EE and 328 days of space flight logged.

so, just because it's a person of color, or a woman, we have to list their degrees and qualifications when they get a job? so, just because it's a person of color, or a woman, we have to be afraid they are unqualified? so, just because it's a person of color, or a woman that means they're stupid and the only way they got the job is because of the color of their skin or the absence of a Y chromosome in their genes?

it's the other way around: just because it's a person of color, or a woman that means they had to work much harder to get their job. I see you didn't list the degrees and qualifications of the white men. I guess just by being a white man that means you're automatically qualified. I must have missed legacy admissions being outlawed

These are not diversity hires.
