because I wrongly assumed you would see the logic behind the first one.

No, because you're a lib who likes to use powerful language to overstate your point. I basically was not allowing that.

No, because you're a lib who likes to use powerful language to overstate your point.

That's one interpretation I guess.

I basically was not allowing that.

I'm more inclined to think you wrongly assumed I was deliberately making a direct comparison that made no sense rather than a convenient analogy with the first human rights abuse that came to mind because it seemed like a good way to discredit me.

Further, I'm guessing that the fact it's obvious that such a comparison would be wrong didn't dissuade you from ascribing it to me because you're against 'libs' in general and it struck you as as a good opportunity to take a shot at one.

Either that or you really are just learning today the subtle difference between an analogy and a comparison.

That's why 'analogy' and 'comparison' are separate words with distinct entries in the dictionary.

Though I am aware that these two words do mean different things, you're wrong to say that different words always mean different things.

For example, I have used two words recently which mean exactly the same thing... "exaggerate" and "overstate".

[Poopadoop]

you would be wrong to say that different words always mean different things. But you didn't say that, so I'm sorry, I'm just talking shit here.

You implied they are different words with different meaning simply because they have their own entry in the dictionary.

But you argued it was a poor comparison, not a poor analogy.

It's a poor analogy because it's a poor comparison.

However, it's a perfectly valid one, just as the marble analogy is.

They're both bad analogies.

If this is really a tendency of mine, perhaps you can provide some more examples to support your contention?

I have no intention of reading your 6000+ posts to support such a claim. Referring to the Holocaust when talking about lack of soap is enough evidence for me.

No I did not. I said they have different meanings and this involved different entries in the dictionary. If you want to be a pedant, perhaps I should have elaborated with 'and the entry for analogy does not simply say 'see comparison'.'

It's a poor analogy because it's a poor comparison.

lol, give it up.

They're both bad analogies.

What do you think an analogy is, apart from a fancy word for comparison?

I have no intention of reading your 6000+ posts to support such a claim. Referring to the Holocaust when talking about lack of soap is enough evidence for me.

yeah but 6000 posts is less than 6 million jews, so it's ok.

[OngBonga]

No I did not. I said they have different meanings and this involved different entries in the dictionary.

You said it's why they have different entries in the dictionary. Here...
