No, that’s NOT begging the question, that’s just being an ass about actually asking a question.

Maybe I have the wrong fallacy, or I’m just really stretching on this one.

This was my line of thinking:

  • premise = there are no valid reasons to dislike X
  • conclusion = people who dislike X don’t have any valid reasons

Thanks, I had considered linking a reference, but I didn’t think he was disputing the definition. He was disputing my analysis that this was a valid example of the fallacy.
