    The difference between you and I is that I’m not a nobody hypocritically telling other people to not try and publicly defend their beliefs.

        I know, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The only reason you think that’s some kind of dig is because you are hung up about being a nobody yourself.

          Nah, I understand my place in the world and nobody suits me fine, I was just trying to be cordial. I must say, you are quite proficient in ad hominem. I even forget the original discussion, was it taxes? In any case, given your predilection for underming lack of discussion with petty insults, might I suggest you take a look at a website called Reddit? I think you’d fit in there.

            You’re initial point was that she is a musician so nobody should care what she thinks, a straight up ad hominem, and now your whining about as hominems? I might be quite proficient at ad hominems, but your proficiency with hypocrisy puts mine to shame.

              Ah, I see your confusion. Advocating for the dismissal of her opinion on grounds of her profession is not a slight on her character. I’m sure she’s a very nice girl and a talented musician.

              You see, ad hominem is an attack on someone’s character to distract from the lack of merit in one’s argument. I never slighted her as a person, ergo no ad hominem.

              Now if I said she was stupid or ugly or talentless, therefore no one should listen to her, that would constitute an attack on her.

              I hope this clears things up.
