Famous Forum Usage

After participating in a protracted debate on same sex marriages SquireSCA revealed that his assertion that such marriages should continue to be banned was a ruse.

His intention was to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of emotional appeals like argumentum ad metum which he felt was being used in yet another thread debating gun control. Unfortunately, the minions that participated in the first thread were not the same minions that participated in the second thread. Several people that participated in the second thread told him that they felt that he had done little more than waste their time, something to which Squire remained adamantly unapologetic.
