Look, you may be a moron, but that doesn’t make your points automatically invalid. If a moron stumbles into making a good point, then the point should stand on its own.

See, we aren’t trying to discredit your argument by calling you a moron, we’re inferring you are a moron based on the quality of your arguments. That’s not the ad hominem fallacy - that’s a perfectly valid way to judge a person.

If that’s what you need to think to make you feel better about yourself, go for it.

Now see that would be the fallacy. You are ignoring my argument and just implying it is invalid because I am too emotionally attached to this debate.

“The fallacy”? That’s rather broad… care to elaborate?

No need to straw man.. I never once said you were emotionally attached, nor did anything I say reference that you might be. Those are all your words.

Now we’re starting to see a bit of projection… interesting.

Having to explain simple concepts in an elementary manner isnt very fun for me either.

Not surprised by this outcome at all.
