    This isn’t high school debate class. Ad hominem means you’re not inherently wrong just because you’re a fuckwit. You can still be wrong and you can still be a fuckwit.

      The thing is, by resorting to childish attacks, you are showing everyone else reading this thread in the future you have no argument. I’m not after you, you’re a lost cause. I’m after them.

        They’re a lost cause too because before I called you a fuckwit, I pointed out that you were only interested in being misleading in your favor, not actually stopping people from being mislead.

        You took “ad hominem” as an easy out and as an added bonus, you were misleading about what ad hominem means.
