Too bad none of it is novel.
Quote:You don't seem to know what an ad hominem is. What you were delivered could at best be a straw man, which is only so if it is infact not the ultimate end of what you were arguing (it is)."An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a form of criticism directed at something about the person one is criticizing, rather than something (potentially, at least) independent of that person."
See, now I can say, based off your lack of understanding the terms you use, coupled with your haughty assertions, that you are a moron--and that's an observation, not an ad hominem.
P.S. Please go learn the definition of a straw-man.
