ITYM that you have run out of arguments and your ad-hominem accusations are not working.


No, but next time please learn about what an ad hominem fallacy is[0], because you just committed one.

Accusing me, out of the blue, of not arguing in good faith is certainly what I would call an ad hominem. According to your link, which does seem plausible, I am wrong about this definition, and I admit that I very well could be.

This still does not make it OK for you to accuse me of not arguing in good faith, without explaining how.
