From this comment… it’s just so much: “I hope you and the other commenter both someday achieve the maturity to look back on this conversation and be embarrassed. I further hope you’ll move beyond embarrassment and realize that it’s part of growing up to make mistakes like that.”
I have no idea what “gish gallops” means which makes the parent comment also very funny
It’s a modern term (named after creationist Duane Gish) for an old-as-dirt oral debate tactic: spew as much bullshit, lies, half-truths and occasional facts as you can in order to bamboozle your audience, as well as put your debate opponent into a position of needing to debunk your nonsense rather than argue their own points.
A more modern name for the tactic could be a Shapiro Stampede
A gish gallop is lying so fast that by the time whoever you’re arguing with manages to refute all your lies the conversation has already been over for a while
