the argument "attacks" a position by complimenting or praising the opponent or the opponent's argument. However, the praise is misdirected or unenthusiastic, suggesting that relevant, enthusiastic praise would be undeserved.
****************************
my dislike for barry bonds is well documented. i wrote a letter to the commissioner of baseball, asking him to avoid being present when a thief, stole a record.
i wanted him to ignore the outlaw, if he could not prevent the crime or arrest the crook.
the commissioner topped anything i could have asked for-- his letter of congratulattions was a masterpiece of twisting the knife -- i am proud of his damning with faint praise approach.
i guess bonds and his devoted supporters, now regret that mister selig was at the game.
they pressured him to be there, so he returned the favor with a brutal letter of congratulations - I can't imagine how mister selig could have expressed his and my position any better.
You are praising a man who allowed the steroid era to grow and fester under his watch? This is a man who denied any knowledge of steroids in the game until 1998. Do you really believe that? Bud Selig is nothing but a liar and should be tarred and feathered not praised for his sourpuss lack of even fake enthusiasm for the breaking of one of baseballs most cherished records. He's the commissioner for christ sake and deserves all of the comdemnation you reserve for Barry Bonds. After reading your blog I have come to the conclusion you are just like everyone else who uses the steroid allegations just as fuel for their I hate Barry Bonds campaign. To praise this clueless commissioner is to give him a free pass on the entire era just like everyone else in baseball. Go ahead and jingle your change in your pocket like your hero Bud Selig when #756 is hit while the rest of us that get it watch baseball history when it happens and applaud.
