Your statements are even more ludicrous than the OPs. As is your attempt to deflect away from the topic to me. I'll take your answer as a positive that you don't know can from do.Why is not being locked into a left vs. right war of epic proportions a shortcoming? As to the "I can project" sentence you may not understand the difference between "can" and "do." Might want to look that up.Ad hom or not ad hom. I say your use of the term "ironic" is not ad hom, at all, well at least it's not to me. I can however project that you meant it as an insult. But I choose to use your statement as support of my statement.Nah. You just don't understand the difference between authoritarian views and libertarian views. Your brain is locked into a left vs. right war of epic proportions and you just don't understand why.
Ironic!
Basically this points out my earlier post, wrt. contexts.
Ad hom or not ad hom. I say your use of the term "ironic" is not ad hom, at all, well at least it's not to me
You got that part right.
I can however project that you meant it as an insult.
You got that part wrong.
But I choose to use your statement as support of my statement.
And you got that wrong too.
In essence my use of the term ironic was in response to your last sentence;
"Your brain is locked into a left vs. right war of epic proportions and you just don't understand why"
That was an ad hom on your part and it was ironic because you were projecting your own shortcoming.
For the record I never take anything posted in this forum personally because I always consider the source. I am well aware that many posters use vulgarities, insults and ad homs because they cannot actually defend their positions. I consider those responses to be tacit admissions of failure on their part and yes, it amuses me which accounts for the ironic chuckle on my part.
As for my statement, it was just a statement of the facts as I see them. Not ad hom at all.
Except that you cannot back up your "statement of fact" with a single actual fact.
Since you can't that means that you have no facts and therefore you are wrong and did in fact post an ad hom.
You also failed to comprehend your shortcoming but that was only to be expected given your shortcoming. And yes, that is a statement of fact based upon your own posted words and therefore not an ad hom.
