There is honesty and challenging others with facts and logic and dialogue. And then there are ad hominem attacks. If you can't distinguish between the two, never fear, you are par for the course in the US right now. Many people interact mostly online, instead of face to face, and therefore, they have lost the ability to feel empathy and to read the reaction in other people's body language to something you've said or done.
To whit, you claim that you have not engaged in ad hominem attacks, but here are the ad hominem attacks in your last two posts to me:
Your current limited mental skills make it likely you can not figure that out. meldy stating the fact that you have shown by your posts you are too stupid to figure out Now, it doesn't particularly bother me, but I do point it out to folks like you, because if this is how you are going through life interacting with people, then you should know this debate tactic detracts from both the power of your message and your ability to persuade others. As such, you should correct it, if you care about your emotional quotient. If you don't, then continue as is, but you'll find that those of us trying to engage in civil dialogue based on mutual respect, facts, logic, and with a desire to persuade will increasingly ignore you, even if you have some very good points to make, which I think you do. |
