LOL, I was clearly using the ideas that by showing your argument was stupid that I had the right to call you stupid and that would not be an ad hominem attack as my explanation of my proffer proved my assertion and thus the ad hominem attack was not an ad hominem attack. zonder the stupid. LOL.. was stating the conclusion of my analysis. My basis for analysis is what I call your limited use of information in an article to make a point that was clearly false with a simple reading of the entire article. I explain that in the post. You selected a subset again that misses other essential information on the meaning and intent of my post. If my argument is logical and correct. Then ONLY STUPID PEOPLE CANNOT SEE MY CLEAR LOGIC. That is not an ad hominem attack. It a statement of conclusion concerning my analysis. Based upon my analysis of your current analysis of what I really posted, can I repeat that observation??? In the context I presented it, it would test one's ability to think with the emotion of Mr. Spock. That is where objectivity lies. That is logic and reason. It is not Mr. Hyde or Dr. Jekyll. I consider making an ad hominem attack is only done by stupid people. I don't make ad hominem attacks. If I see individuals calling any person stupid with no logic, that just a stupid person being stupid. You can call it an ad hominem attack. I consider attacking personal aspects (race creed color... etc) of an individual an ad hominem attack. I consider anyone who makes ad hominem attacks to be stupid. Saying someone is stupid can be an accurate observation. But considering this unrefuted work. The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Commonsense Lessons from the Commander in Chief Carolyn B. Thompson, James W. Ware ISBN: 0-471-42006-9 Calling President Bush a moron is obviously ad hominem attack. And this is exactly what I believe concerning what I presented. ONLY STUPID PEOPLE CANNOT SEE MY CLEAR LOGIC. Feel free to show my the stupidity of my logic.
