No, I did not say that spinic, I said that they do not affect humans, I did
NOT say it is not important to know ones birthdate and time. You see, this
is what spinics do, they try to extend statements into fallacious
conclusions and spin the facts instead of acknowledging them.
This is called "Missing the point" another fallacy of relevance--The
conclusion of the argument is irrelevant to the premises. "Missing the point
illustrates a special form of irrelevance. This fallacy occurs when the
premises of an argument support one particular conclusion, but then a
different conclusion, often vaguely related to the correct conclusion is
drawn. We must be able to identify the correct conclusion in this case."
Hurley, 4th edition 1991.

"Begging the question" occurs when an arguer uses some form of phraseology
that tends to conceal the questionably true character of a key premise. If
the reader or the listener is deceived into thinking that a key premise is
true, he or she will accept the argument as sound, when in fact, it may not
be." Hurley 1991, 4th edition, Logic.
Did you have any other misconceptions and purposeful spin you would like me
to correct for you?
Or is your harassment and defamation attempts going to continue for as long
as you can hold this account to do so?

He's not a spinic, asshole, he's an ASTROLOGER, and a far better one
than you can ever hope to be!

If the planets and constellations do not affect humans , then it ISN'T
important to know ones birthdate and time.

That makes you a spinic, then.
You called Tom Kerr a "stalker" because he pointed out that one of your
jabberfests was incoherent.

Nice powerless threat! However: "Begging the question" occurs when an
