I've tried using SFC multiple times and had it work zero times. One time after SFC failed to find anything wrong, I ended up fixing the machine by replacing the system file with a copy from a working machine.

I let one of mine expire a few years ago. Finally decided I wanted to try to register it again, but a squatter is now sitting on it asking for something like ~~$10k~~ $3.6k.

Edit: just double-checked, they lowered the price to only $3595!

Yeah, I was trying to be way more charitable in my interpretation than I should have been.

To be fair, what if the bard is like, "I try putting my dick in it" at every session? Even if the group is generally okay with explicit roleplay, it could eventually get a bit old, and the DM could simply be trying to reduce the frequency of the dick jokes in a creative way.

I've been using ForwardEmail, and have been happy with them so far. Their free tier only allows aliasing, but the cheapest paid tier is only $3/month, and you can use Thunderbird/K-9 as your mail client.

Thanks, I had considered linking a reference, but I didn't think he was disputing the definition. He was disputing my analysis that this was a valid example of the fallacy.

Maybe I have the wrong fallacy, or I'm just really stretching on this one.

This was my line of thinking:

  • premise = there are no valid reasons to dislike X
  • conclusion = people who dislike X don't have any valid reasons

Begging the question is a logical fallacy that assumes the conclusion within the premise. If OP was not being genuine, then the faulty conclusion would be "there are no good reasons to dislike GrapheneOS, therefore why do people dislike GrapheneOS?"

It's very close to begging the question, though. It really depends on OP's actual intent, which is hard to determine through text. But it does seem like it could have a, "Those of you who still hate GrapheneOS, why are you wrong?" tone to it.

Edit: Reading through OP's comments, they do sound genuine to me, I'm mostly just explaining why someone might mistake the post for begging the question.
