    Nah, I understand my place in the world and nobody suits me fine, I was just trying to be cordial. I must say, you are quite proficient in ad hominem. I even forget the original discussion, was it taxes? In any case, given your predilection for underming lack of discussion with petty insults, might I suggest you take a look at a website called Reddit? I think you’d fit in there.

      You’re initial point was that she is a musician so nobody should care what she thinks, a straight up ad hominem, and now your whining about as hominems? I might be quite proficient at ad hominems, but your proficiency with hypocrisy puts mine to shame.

        Ah, I see your confusion. Advocating for the dismissal of her opinion on grounds of her profession is not a slight on her character. I’m sure she’s a very nice girl and a talented musician.

        You see, ad hominem is an attack on someone’s character to distract from the lack of merit in one’s argument. I never slighted her as a person, ergo no ad hominem.

        Now if I said she was stupid or ugly or talentless, therefore no one should listen to her, that would constitute an attack on her.

        I hope this clears things up.
