And not the delicious kind.

@Gladfly1 @brandondaly2018 Anyway, he thought that the GISTEMP data was incomplete, I showed him that he was wrong. Then he asked me to describe the greenhouse effect. I did, but he attempted to drag my name through the mud.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

One of the greatest ones I have seen so far. He asked an undergraduate student for an explanation on the greenhouse effect. He gave a correct explanation and @eachus even admitted that was true. But he dragged him through the mud anyway, with arrogant remarks and ad homs.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@Gladfly1 He thinks he knows everything, but he doesn't know @brandondaly2018 is actually me 🤫 ... Immature? Yes

Did he deserve it? Absolutely!

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

What you did was fucked up. Even if your explanation *was* descriptive and thorough, the bit of respect I had for you disappeared with those last 2 tweets before you blocked me.

Brandon was right. About the greenhouse effect, and about you being insecure.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

The only fallacy I swam across was ad hominem. But I gotta say, what he did was a bad move.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 So you made this thread to stroke your ego?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 So? Why are you dragging him through the mud for giving a layman explanation on Twitter?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 Is Brandon wrong?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 Anyone could write an equation though, so I hope you understand where my skeptism is coming from.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 I am but a squid. But I'd be happy to read an example of where you did assert yourself. I'd also like to compare your explanation to Brandon's

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 Do you have any examples? I must be missing something.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 ...Like?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 You never actually asserted yourself though. Even if he was wrong, at least he tried to show his credibility through detailed descriptions and scientific arguments. Frankly, that's more than I can say about you. I'm not trying to insult you, but it's just an observation I've made

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 It seems to me, after reading his explanation, that's exactly what he did. He explained how greenhouse gases warm the Earth's surface.

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 Did he ever claim that the greenhouse effect worked like an actual greenhouse?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 Is that not what he explained in those pictures?

[FallacySquid @FallacySquid]

@eachus @brandondaly2018 You asked about the physics of the greenhouse effect, didn't you?
