"Did I miss the justifications or is this just one of the ad hominem attacks that's currently in fashion?"

I responded to your request for an explanation. I provided justification for my comment even though, as I explained, that should not be necessary for anyone paying attention to Geode's conduct on SI (which I am sure you do).

It was not merely an ad hominem attack on the character of Geode. It was a direct response to his declarations that human beings have no noble qualities but are simply flockers and herders who organize to strategize for maximum flocking and herding benefits.

I demonstrated to him that I consider his point of view to be lacking in human value and concluded according to his own rationalization, and conduct, that he is likely here only out of a profit motive.

He and I are clearly divided along that line, which has now been clarified ad nauseam for you ... what is your issue with it?
