i attack the argument and, just as you do, add a snide remark. PZ Myers write a rebuttal to an argument and adds his foul opinion of creationists on his blog many a time and theists, just as you are doing, claim he only uses ad hominems (incorrectly too since ad hominems means the whole argument is based on an ad hominem, my statement about 'so much for cambridge' or 'better post a definition' are irrelevant to the argument and people can decide whether or not they feel that way too).
I can entertain (or maybe even agree) that an ad hominem may be used through implication but then I might as well accuse you of ad hominems
the first thing you said on the thread:
another ad hominem on your part: you imply that i don't put much thought into my posts. I do, but you refuse to be charitable and you continue to treat me as if i was stupid.

the first thing you said on the thread:
Quote:Creation of anything from scratch violates the conservation of energy...that is, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It's a pretty simple thing to understand; you just failed to do that.was very belittling. You're the one that came into the thread assuming I meant 'from scratch' meant 'from nothing' which is obviously against the law of conservation of energy: you came into the thread and distorted my position into a straw man.
