      Just that the “arguments” and wording of these comments read very autistic, not just your own.

        I don’t really know what that means… It’s just a really weird thing to comment on a post. Even if I were autistic, how would that matter and what effect would it have on the discussion?

          The way you focus on concepts like empiricism, nihilism, solipsism, other isms, instead composing a straightforward reply that is to the point comes across autistic. The other guy’s doing the same so maybe it’s just typical conversation on here.

            A straightforward reply wouldn’t work in this situation because OP did not make a straightforward comment. So we use those terms because they are rhetorical terms that describe the techniques the original poster was using. It’s easy for someone like OP to make a dishonest argument and mask it as an honest one, so we are calling him out on that dishonesty by showing the flawed arguments for what they are.

            I think it’s not something typical of conversation here, but it is typical of rhetorical conversation, and you’ll hear this kind of speech whenever people discuss logical and rhetorical arguments.
