Ah yes the "no true scotsman" fallacy in all of its glory.

Excluding target examples that exhibit behaviors I don't like from a group they/it is identify with?

Where did I exclude the landlords exhibiting negative behaviors from the grouping "landlord" as a rhetorical means of defending the target group? I am saying landlording is bad, period.

Are you saying my inference of a very few select actions can get a pass, to an extent, because they are also working around this structure they are forced to live in, however passively they are contributing to a larger problem. IE someone renting out a room in their house because the "housing as a commodity" market makes is painful to have a house? Is a no true Scotsman fallacy?
