No, that's definitely not emotion-based logic, in fact it isn't logic at all. But, since the second part of your sentence is predicated on the first, logic says that that, too, is invalid. Kinder scholars than most would say it is a non sequitur: My Maths teacher, a down-to-earth Glaswegian would use a simple eight-letter word preceded by "what a load of old".
