With all due respect, Prolife wasn't the first to advance ad hominems in that exchange. Also, I find it amusing that someone would chastise him for ad hominems while using ad hominems toward him throughout the post.
Bill, it was supposed to be amusing!
PROLIFE has persistently calls me a murderer, a lighter of ovens, and other such names, when I've attempted to have exchanges with him about matters unconnected to abortion. I no longer even try.
His most consistent trope, however, has been to change the subject to how "elistist" and "snobbish" I am, how I "look down my nose at" him, that sort of thing. So I figured it would be fun and funny to just get that out of the way by doing exactly what he has accused me of doing: Look down on him in an extreeeem way.
What what do you know, it worked! Because if someone starts right out saying you're a teeny weeny person that they can hardly see, looking down on them extremely, it's kind of impossible to say they're looking down on you. I mean, duh.
Of course he immediately went to how I was still lighting ovens in abortion chambers, but heck, next time, maybe I'll start my reply to him by saying, "I'm taking time out from my busy schedule lighting ovens in abortion chambers to say...."
Why he insists on posting to me, I don't know. I'd ask him, but he's too tiny and insignificant to question, and besides, I'm busy lighting those ovens.
