    I didn’t admit that. Reread what I wrote.

    you are making ad-hominem arguments while trying to claim other arguments/points are wrong because they are ad-hominem.

    I also did not do that. I was not saying that anyone’s point was wrong when I insulted them. I insulted them because they were not actually addressing the argument. The insults were intended in what I wrote to them precisely because they weren’t making an argument against what I was saying. They were being dismissive and I was returning that dismissiveness in kind.

      Ok… and?

      In response to:

      You being pompous and overly verbose makes you look bad.

      Oh another good ad-hominem, also I think maybe projection in this case.

      I did not think I would have to explain what projection is in this context.

      I insulted them because they were not actually addressing the argument. The insults were intended in what I wrote to them precisely because they weren’t making an argument against what I was saying. They were being dismissive and I was returning that dismissiveness in kind.

      Oh and my point about your insulting people while trying to shut down arguments was that you are being a hypocrite and that further hurts your argument/point. You claiming someone is being “dismissive” by not agreeing with you is not really the defence you likely think it is.
