Trying to prove your own expertise based on your own experiences is called "using evidence" and "ethos," which is stuff they teach you in your high school English class.

Sorry you missed those! Must've been too busy progging story or something.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
An argument from authority[a] is a form of argument in which the opinion of an authority figure (or figures) is used as evidence to support an argument.[1]

The argument from authority is a logical fallacy,[2] and obtaining knowledge in this way is fallible.[3][4]
It's not evidence. Ur claiming authority on the subject based on your parse. We can't argue back to you because you claim authority on the area. If you werent the authority then that means we don't have to listen to you based on your parse BECAUSE your not an authority. So you ARE claiming authority.

your parse is not reflective of the arguments or conversations thats happening here. You're using parse to say that my opinion on the changes being good is invalid because of my lack of having a leveled character and calling me a rage baiter. When proven wrong, you switched to parse and using that to make you an authority on the argument. You "evidence" is completely irrelevant because it doesnt do anything to disprove what I said. In fact, you have been wrong on several counts on this thread.

Argue with words and logic rather than relying on a parse to dismiss any topic just because you don't like other peoples opinions.
