I get that you differ in opinion with lots of people in this thread, and that's OK. With that said, don't you believe it to be desirable for people who share your opinions to be intellectually honest in their public presentation? I would hope so. It is tremendously harmful to an argument when it's presenter is caught being dishonest in it's presentation. Even if the argument is you're making is correct, adding elements of dishonesty to it do it harm, and make it less persuasive. No one should celebrate dishonesty and intellectual cowardice. It downgrades the entire conversation.

Go to the root of the issue. Gary created a poll thread forwarding a logical fallacy as a talking point designed to be derogatory in nature. He decided, when called out for this, to delete the thread because he didn't want his intellectual dishonesty discussed, to delete the thread and to recreate it disabling comments. His poor behavior created the situation. Don't paper over that because you generally agree with his view point. It does a great deal of intellectual harm to your position, and makes further conversation impossible.
