When you do this, you are essentially naming others to be liars.
Calling BS, refusing to offer any counter-evidence or arguments, and willfully and repeatedly ignoring the portions of posts which challenge your own, IS the problem.
As regards fallacious thinking, many of your posts represent what is called argumentum ad logicam, or the fallacist's fallacy.
