I could make a comment about people who think that, "If it ain't white, it ain't right." But I'll refrain.

But Patrick, by discribing a blue gi as an abomination, isn't that what you do?

:roflmao:

Yes, "Patrick", treating you like a person, rather than a troll, may be a grave error!

That would be treating a troll as a person to be the anthropomorphic fallacy in logic.

I don't believe you! You were really agreeing with me on my position towards the imposement of the blue gi on judoka's by the dictatorial IJF.

Don't worry Patrick, I know you'll believe whatever you choose to, no matter what the evidence.

Now, I would like to know something. Why is it that my statement was considered "anthropomorphizing" and yours was not?

Hi IamBaytor:

The Anthropomorphic fallacy in logic is to attribute human qualities to either animals or material objects. To prefer a white gi over a blue gi, or to claim the superiority of a white gi is nothing more than that. The mere suggestion or entailment of a human connotation to a white gi is committing the anthropomorphic fallacy. So don't anthropomorphasize.

It is my opinion that the blue gi is an abomination, no human qualities are prescribed. No anthropomophic inuendoes or suppositions in that opinion.
