gamer logic

(n) the sad, but true logic of a majority of gamers, usually ones that are known to commonly rage quit: if better than someone, opponent is a noob; if worse than someone, opponent "has no life;" if everyone is doing better, gamer blames lag.

First Match: *owns someone*
Typical Gamer: You suck noob! Return the game you scrub!

Second Match: *gets owned by another*
Typical Gamer: You are fat kid! Keep living in your mother's basement you no life!

Match Three: *owned by everyone*
Typical Gamer: Fuck this game! Fucking lag! All you kids suck! Just wait for my lag to be gone and I'll wreck all you scrubs!

Random that was in all three matches: This idiot's gamer logic is hilarious. He is so mad! *laughing*

Logical Ping-Pong Game Bias

The tendency of a debate to devolve into a rapid, sterile exchange of formal logical charges ("straw man!" "non sequitur!" "ad hominem!") where scoring points on procedural grounds replaces engagement with substance. The "bias" is towards valuing the form of the argument as a game, making it impossible to discuss the underlying issue.

Logical Ping-Pong Game Bias Example: Two people debating economics rapidly descend into: "That's an anecdotal fallacy!" "You're attacking a straw man of my position!" "Your premise is circular!" The discussion dies as they become referees of a logical ping-pong game, more focused on catching each other's rhetorical fouls than on understanding the economic policy.
