    99% of the time when people online whine "false equivalence," they're responding to something in which no equivalence was ever asserted.

        In general people seem to think that simply stating the name of a logical fallacy is some sort of "get out of an argument free" card.

        I guarantee you that virtually none of these people have actually studied philosophical logic.

        It was insinuated through the question itself. It's entirely a false equivalence that you are offering. And not in a convincing manner.

        99% of the time when somebody online is whining, it's you. Still, glad to see you've recovered from your assault.
