FYI #1

Fair comment is NOT an "ad hominem" attack.


What *was* ad hominem, was what I initially responded to. A person
accused you, rightly or wrongly that you were guilty of using
ad hominem attacks.


** But he did NOT indicate which words he was referring to.

Standard usenet practice is to post UNDER the words you wish to comment on.


You responded with no other defense than that this person was delusional.


** Fair comment, means he must be seeing things that are not there.


You failed to address the point in contention,


** No point was made so noting to address.

An unsupported assertion is NOT a point.


which was the nature of your previous posts.


** Which he had simply misconstrued.



You instead questioned the mental
ability of your opponent which served as your only stance in the argument.


** Do you understand the concept of "no case to answer" ??


This is a textbook example of an ad hominem attack,

** No it is not.

I was simply defending myself from one.


I found great amusing irony there and couldn't help but to point it out.


** You have no idea what constitutes an argument let alone an "ad hominem".



What Tobiah posted WAS very clearly an "ad hominem " attack, on me.

He got back what he deserved.


I have committed no ad hominem attack. When I insulted you the words
served their correct purpose. I was not dodging an argument by attacking
the opponent. I was just pointing out a humorous contradiction in what
you were saying.



** All you in fact pointed out was your own delusions and misconstructions.

Tobiah - the best thing you can do is FOAD.
