My gripe has to do with the fact that many times you never bother to address any point someone is making. You simply resort to name calling the person to discredit them.

This is the same tactic cyberken uses, except that he calls people he disagrees with un American marxist lenninists and you call people you disagree with stupid un Americans.

And after that, if someone is stubborn enough to continue you start your pontificating windbag routine, with third person name calling and you cut and paste it over and over again.

Cyberken is in my opinion the moral equivalent of a member of KKK because he thinks a certain type of person should be exterminated. The only difference is that the KKK's criteria is based on race and cyberken's criteria is based on political ideals.

Also name calling is equivalent to personal attack in that it ignores the content of what a person is saying and "kills the messenger" instead. It is the mark of someone who is either too lazy to address the points made or not up to the task.
