          Right on cue, the part where the flustered liberal with no rebuttal just pretends like the other person is so self-evidently out of pocket that they don’t even merit a response, and also you’re not mad and are actually laughing.

      also an “ad hominem attack” would be me saying “your argument is dogishit because you are a moron,” calling you a moron (much less accusing you of huffing farts) isn’t an ad hominem attack. read a fucking essay or something, clearly books are beyond you

        When your insult comes as a reply to an argument provided without a counter argument it’s taken as ad hominem.

        If you actually had a counter argument, the insult would just be regular cringe.

        It’s clear you have nothing to add to this conversation besides vitriol.

            Such eloquent prose.

            The brilliance of your counter arguments are truly stunning.

            I now can only agree that I am a dumb fuck because “leeeeerooooyyyyjeeeenkins” and his sock puppet account “booty” have irrevocably proven that my argument is invalid due to unstated reasons beyond human comprehension.

            If only I had be so clever as to concoct such insults as “dipshit” and “dumbass” I might have prevailed, and my pride could still be salvaged.

            Alas I am a ruined by way of immaculate reason.

              Lmaoooo please lay out your evidence for my 5 year old account with 5000 posts on it being a sockpuppet, I’m sure I would have to rescind my accusations of your dumbfuckery immediately

              Dawg, the thing you’re not understanding is just because you’re trying to debate doesn’t mean everyone else is playing ball. “You’re a dumbfuck” is not an argument. You’re not wrong because you’re a dumbfuck. You’re a dumbfuck because you’re wrong, and instead of trying to fix what’s wrong with your brain, I’m simply mocking you.

                Sitting here waiting for a single counter argument to any of my statements but only getting insults directed at straw men.

                If I’m such a dumb fuck then why can’t anyone counter my arguments?

                If you have a point to make (or any independent thoughts to share) then please attempt to make it.

                I’m open to being corrected but it seems like I’m already correct and have just hurt people’s ego.

                  You’re fiending so bad for someone to debate you but when I ask you for evidence to support a claim you just ignore it? Buddy you can do better than that

          When your insult comes as a reply to an argument provided without a counter argument it’s taken as ad hominem.

          Ad hominem is when you insult someone and use it as an excuse to dismiss their argument, you dumb fuck. So calling you a dumb fuck is not an ad hominem, it’s just an insult, you reddit debate lord moron. All just insults here!
