I suspect the only "causation" he'll accept is a correlation that was

Failure to respond indicates that he has no answer, although there's

and simply doesn't have balls to admit it.

Affirming the consequent is a formal fallacy that is committed when it
is stated that because the consequent is true, therefore the
antecedent is true as Krygowski did in the following statement:

That is clearly false.

The rebuttal was anything but name calling. Krygowski is the name
caller. That's his standar behavior. You note that I seldom respond to
Junior Carrington's (Zen) name calling.

 
"Zen", a rather unusual nickname as it is the name of a branch of the
Buddhist religion which believes that meditation leads to Nirvana.

I would doubt very much that a large segment of the readers here would
be familiar with the term  Zen. After all, I live in a country that is
more then 90% Buddhist and the term isn't common here :-)

Which is, obviously, the reason for my question.
