    “pot and kettle”

    I left literally one comment on this entire thread, if that’s the same as me having my knickers in a twist and calling people dumb as shit for having methods that differ from my own, then I guess I’m a pot.

    Did I call it an ad hominem? Not all insults are ad hominems. “You’re wrong because you’re dumb as shit” is an ad hominem. “You’re dumb as shit because you’re wrong” isn’t.

    You didn’t premise your conclusions upon the insults, so I wouldn’t call them ad hominems. It’s still an overreaction though, not to mention unnecessarily rude.

      Go reread. I never called anyone “dumb as shit”, just the comments. Rude? Sure I’ll own that though.

      I’m pretty sure you left more comments than one on what I wrote. Your commentary sure has the feel of “pretty worked up” but I won’t pretend to be a psychologist and tell you it’s a sign of mental illness: that’s a thing that’s reserved for real assholes on the Internet.

      Edit: Yeah I left 4 comments in one chain and you got me twice. Seems like you have the same kind of itch to comment when the mood strikes. If you’ve got an excuse I’m sure I’ll hear about it.
