If someone disliked Will's comment they could already downvote it.

Yes, but they couldn't downvote my upvote, which is why I made a karma sink for them.

I repeat, if you are actually interested in rational discussion then you might want to consider explaining what I said that makes Will's response appropriate.

Material implications are always true when their antecedent is false.

From others of your comments it's clear that you're a very intelligent person, so I promise I'd pay attention.

Flatterer.

I take it that Will's remark and yours are intended to indicate some particularly egregious wrongness on my part

Probably unwarranted.

EDIT: Unwarranted; see brother comment.
