- You don't indicate the subject to which Elf is responding, but I can guess.
- Many times the people posting the most anti-gay sentiments state that
- homosexuality is not found in other animals. Therefore it is unfair to attack
- the response to such an argument by pointing out all the other types of sexual
- practices that occure in nature. Ridiculing the response to an assertion with
- a reductio ad absurdum argument when the response is not key to the original
- thesis is patently unfair.
