Calling someone rude isn't an ad hominem argument-- that word is reserved for discrediting an argument by attacking the person. But if ANYONE uses ALL CAPS I will CALL them RUDE because IT'S annoyING.
I haven't actually seen enough information or a strong enough argument in this thread in order to respond. Here's what I've seen so far:
*random paper* "Nietzsche is legitimizing power relationships, instead of explaining them. But I think power is much more complicated than that. Nietzsche's arguments and mine are both anecdotal, but at least mine have some value."
If you want to say something about either Nietzsche or your own views, you're going to have to do better than a couple one liners. Show some background-- what, exactly did Nietzsche say about power? Why do you disagree with it? Why, exactly, is your view better than his?
