The meaning of John Lennon's song - God

It wasn't an ad hominem it was a fact!

Yep that's your opinion. Great.

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Ad hominem 'means to the man, attacking the person instead of the argument. I may indeed be shallow,but that is irrelevant to my opinion,which may be right or wrong.

Hence

You may always have been shallow

is an ad hominem attack. Just as it would be if I said you are a fool BECAUSE of your beliefs. I have said no such thing. My conclusion after reading many of your posts is that you are a fool AND believe a lot of nonsense unsupported by evidence.


I would have been happy to provide evidence for my position had you asked. I note without surprise that you did not bother to supply evidence to support your own position to refute mine. Instead you attack me.


I find your attack ironic; you have demonstrated over a long period that you have the intellectual depth of a petrie dish.

I may have mentioned this before; I don't suffer fools. My fault entirely.I should have left you on ignore.I have now remedied that situation. If I continued reading your posts I would eventually forget myself, tear you a new one and get myself banned. I came very close this time.

@ Padraic : forgive me I thought you were saying that my comment "Well it took a while to hit home" was a 2nd Ad Hominem from me, as you quoted that and then mentioned the Ad Hominem again.

I confess to the Ad Hominem. I didn't consider it a profitable use of time to argue the point seriously, and assumed that others here could use their own judgement. I took a stab in the dark. No harm calling people out sometimes I think.

Of course now you respond with one Ad Hominem and one unsupportable observation that I find also to be illogical. So this ends one up to me.

There is really no cause for such a violent reaction Pad. Surely we can get along despite our differences. I don't intend handling you with kid gloves, and I'd appreciate the same from you.
