I'm pointing out that you're invoking a fallacy

No you didn't. The statement to which you responded, in full, was:

The bottom line: Pederasty fits quite naturally into a conservative world of moderation, virtue, self-restraint. Perhaps it only ever succeeds there?

We're in a chat room. I've provided plenty of examples of why I think a conservative approach to pederasty is best. Plutarch's recent quote is another such example. Only a small point, but one worth making. I outlined it and then posed the question about pederastic success.

Arguing against what I said would certainly be possible, but all you did was rush in to apply a smart-aleck slavery smear – one which had nothing to do with anything.

We're in a chat room. You have every right to be a fatuous smartarse, but trying to huff and puff that up into something substantial is a bit rich.
