"Moving the goalposts (or shifting the goalposts) is an expression meaning the changing the target of a process or competition to by one side in order to gain advantage"

I want someone to ask birthers that and see what the response is. Furthermore, is Jesus eligible to be the king of kings since he wasn't born in America?

Well, I knew it would happen. The WorldNutDaily fan/birther on the other forum I post on has claimed it a fake. Offers no evidence to back it up, just a bunch of logical fallacies, especially moving the goalposts. He says 'what if a British loyalist had run, won and declared martial law and ceded our sovereignty to Britain?' And his reason for declaring it fake? 'The hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on legel fees paying a bunch of lawyers to defend him from ordinary citizens like us.' Red herring, LOL. What a denialist. His post is rife with logical fallacies up the wazoo.

Unfortunately right now, I'm a mod on this other forum, and the rules are a LOT stricter than here. I doubt I could call him out with coming across a jackass or insulting him, and that wouldn't be good. I suppose I could say 'Please offer real evidence that's relevant and no logical fallacies', but...I dunno. The thread would likely quickly spiral into something the admin there doesn't like seeing things spiral into.

I haven't refuted the birther's argument, but I have been discussing it with the admin. And his thing was 'yeah, his argument is retarded, but if anyone posts and tells him, the thread will go bad places'. The admin also admitted to fighting the urge to say 'you're a moron'. So we're currently discussing deleting his post and saying 'please don't be such an inflammatory jackass and use good arguments' and also punishing him in some way for being inflammatory. Again, much stricter rules than here.

I did, however, at least make a draft post (that I probably won't actually post) where I go through the birther's post line by line and name his logical fallacies, though I'm sure I got a few wrong. Seriously, he presents ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that constitutes evidence that the certificate is fake.

Seriously, I really do wish I had the power to ban this idiot but I'm a mod, not an admin. He once made a thread that was basically just 'hate on Muslims' for no real reason.

@Omni

I just might. His post is definitely inflammatory. This guy is REALLY good with just toeing the line. I may nail him for toeing the line too much.

Of course, he knows darn well we're on opposite sides politically, so he'd probably accuse me of trying to silence him for political reasons or other nonsense.

^And there's that. I might nail him, but I also like to try to give the benefit of the doubt.

But this time I may say fuck it and nail this moron. I'm quite sure he believes Federal Reserve CTs too.
