Nope, alerting you to a personal quirk that annoys other people isn't an
ad hominem argument. I'm not attempting to refute your argument, merely
pointing out to you that too often you tone is annoying. NB that has
nothing to do with your logic, but it does affect your persuasiveness.


sure it is. your post served no other purpose than to attack.

i find your tone highly annoying, condescending and rude, but i don't
comment on that in my posts because it's irrelevant to the topic.

You don't persuade people by being logical. You persuade people by being
civil, by respecting them. Labelling a point as "nonsense" is neither
civil nor respectful.


when something is nonsense, it's entirely appropriate to call it that.

if a someone started babbling about how the earth is flat or the moon
landing was faked, the correct response is nonsense, because that's
exactly what it is. explaining why it's bs would be a complete waste of
time.

you also snipped the rest of the post you quoted, intentionally
altering the context, which went into great detail as to why i said
nonsense. you took words out of context just to attack. not cool.

no real surprise there, it's what you usually do.
