Revenge of?.....

Appeal to Spite seemed interesting to talk about. The book Critical Thinking described Appeal to Spite as the hope of revenge as an invariably rejection as bad by some people on moral grounds. Here's an example:

Wally: Hey can you help me?
Richelle: Yeah sure what's wrong?
Wally: I think my coil packs burned out, I need to go to the Volkswagen dealership, can you bring me there?
Richelle: Okay I gotchu`.
Eric: (whispering) Dude.. remember he was suppose to bring you the body shop for your car but he hella flaked on you? Why you helping him?
Wally: Dammit Eric!

This is a good example of an Appeal to Spite. Basically, Wally(me) is asking for help even though I didn't help Richelle before. Richelle agrees to help, but Eric comes out of no where and reminds Richelle of why is she helping me when I didn't help her. More or less, it deals with revenge.

I won this game at a Lan thing yesterday. Halo tournament 1st place wooooo!
