Balbulican Ultimate Dismissal chart

Brilliant list of retorts includes:

Category 1: Contradiction Codes

C-1: Basic Denial (e.g.: That didn’t happen).
C-2: Complex Denial: (e.g.: That can’t possibly be true, because if it were, other unpleasant things that I don’t choose to believe in would be true as well.)
C-3: The Missouri Variant - (e.g.: That might have happened, but you can’t prove it to my satisfaction.)

Category 2: Bullying Codes

B-1: Righteous Wrath (e.g.: How DARE you even suggest such a thing about our brave troops/the Pope/the left/me?!)
B-2: Blackmail (e.g.: Don’t you realize that by saying that you’re endangering our brave troops/the credibility of the UN/Western Civilization As We Know It?)

Category 3: Diversion Codes

D-1: Burden of Proof Reversal (e.g.; Oh, YEAH? Well, how can you PROVE that their proofs are correct, to MY complete satisfaction?)
D-2: The Red Herring (e.g.; How come you’re ALWAYS picking on my beloved country/President/side of the political spectrum/browser?!)
D-3: Archeoblogogy (e.g.; Three years ago, in another thread on another site on another topic, YOU SAID…)

Category 4: Mockery Codes

M-1: Lofty Dismissal (e.g.: There’s a lot of debate on the ‘net about this, most of it low quality – this is just one more example. No need to discuss.)
M-3: Mock Deference (e.g.: Oh, right, well, (snort, guffaw) because YOU say so (snicker), it MUST be true (chortle). No need to discuss.)

Category 5: Assorted Fallacy Codes

F-1: Straw Man (e.g.: So in simple words you believe…(insert highly distorted misinterpretation of your opponent’s position here, then triumphantly defeat the stance your opponent never took.)

Notes:

1) Dismissal codes may be used in conjunction with each other. For example, Basic Denial (C-1) can be combined with any of the Derision Series (Category 4, M1 to 4) to devastating effect. Please list in the appropriate order when using multiple dismissal strategies for maximum effect.
