Misidentification of fallacy. I'd already made the point that it's relevant
to one of the groups to which the OP posted, namely clj.programmer. The
"programmer" part of that means that it's not about the language as such, but
the skills needed to use it effectively. I had argued that the question is
relevant there. The appeal to sympathy is to show that the line was being
drawn arbitrarily fine. Nowhere am I suggesting that the discussion veer from
the subject of the newsgroup, I only suggest that people not be such
namby-pamby nitpickers and be so doggedly exclusionary.

So while you show off your Latin quite nicely, it's irrelevant.

I don't know where your "here" is, but in this thread I'm arguing against the
people who are NOT being "so helpful".

And also the OP is being invited EXACTLY to continue to post "here" for one
value of "here". You unsympathetic so-and-so. (Ad hominem - in case you want
to show off more Latin.)
