<<Call it the priesthood fallacy, call it the genetic fallacy, whatever. But,
IMO, it's smug and presumptuous to dismiss *anyone's* argument based solely
on his/her lack of "credentials." >>
Right. This is what I was trying, in my subtle lawlerly way, to point out. A
member here is frustrated with ANOTHER member, and that's understandable; but
committing the Priesthood Fallacy in return is not the answer.
We need is a little balance. If one is frustrated, perhaps taking a break and
coming back later would be a good idea. I know it helped me back in the Glenn
Morton days, when frustration was virtually assured--on both sides.
Better that than continuing to try and knock aside criticism with the
preumptuous method you have identified.
Best,
Jim
