You were going at it pretty intensely..
>.>
an ad hominem is when you say, "Your argument is wrong because you're an idiot." not "your argument is wrong and it makes you look like an idiot."
Like when I said you were spouting jargon out of confirmation bias
Which you havent disproven
The former is vested in the latter..
That doesnt make it the same thing
Its not an ad hominem by definition
Douchebag is
No its a descriptor
as you say..
But it isnt
Not in the context you were using it
I didn't say "your argument is invalid because you're a douchebag."
or is that only vested when I throw insults?
hypocrit
hypocrite*
This is the intellectual equivilant of "no u"
now he wants to be intellectual..
If I say you look like your are doing something out of confirmation bias and you call me a douchebag that is an ad hominem
If I say your argument makes you look stupid because of the argument not because of YOU that is not an ad hominem
You attacked my character I did not attack yours
No. It was insulting to imply that I looked that stuff up on the spot and was ignorant about what I was talking about. That was an attack. To which I responded..
I was attacking your argument
You attacked my character
Thats the difference
If you are incapable of understanding that this conversation may as well be over
Although this isnt much of a conversation
plausible denyability
> I feel like you googled that and then just regurgitated it to fulfill your confirmation bias without knowing what any of that actually means or implies
yeah because this isn't being a dick at all.
I attacked your argument
You attacked me
There is a difference
I mever said this is all wrong you're an idiot
Lord this is like talking to a wall at this point
No, you told me I had confirmation bias without having a basis. You told me I didn't know what I was talking about. That's an attack.
I said I suspected confirmation bias
It might not be as explicit as calling someone a douchebag, but its still being a dick.
Hence "I feel like X"
Being a dick =/= an ad hominem
I feel like you're a cocksucker.
