      Are you a conservative by chance?

      Was that meant as an ad hominem? I thought you didn’t like those.

      Garbage was a reference to what you were adding to the “discussion”, not you as a person, so doesn’t qualify as ad hominem.

      Same for gibbering nonsense.

          Yes, you add garbage into the conversation (disingenuous questions) and you get garbage out (me ignoring the question).

          That’s another word you got wrong. I’m not sidestepping anything. I am blatantly ignoring it.

          Or is it only fun when you’re doing it?

          I’m just having a good time.

              Calling my arguments

              Oh, so you have an argument now?

              Nobody arguing in good faith says:

              What’s my argument? I’m listening.

              If you feel like your argument has been misinterpreted, or that a counter argument is irrelevant, someone who is arguing in good faith would restate their argument to indicate why the counter argument was irrelevant. Not “guess what my argument is” so that they can avoid stating something that would have to actually defend.

              Every comment you’ve made since I pointed that out has been ad hominem tu quoque, or a ‘no, you.’

              Your entire post was a “no you”. Pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy is not a tu quoque, because I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I’m just pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy.

              Everything I have said is in good faith

              Ah yes, that classic markers of someone having a good faith discussion:

              If you want to feel better about your choices I’m not the one you need to convince.

              Downvote if you can’t refute!

              unlike you I have a philosophy of live and let live.

              (There’s another of your trademark ad hominem attacks!)

              You keep at it though, I believe in you!

              Cool, thanks. Very helpful. Loving talking to you, it’s been so constructive.

              The world is full of things that have nothing to do with you. Instead of getting bent out of shape about it you can just move along. You don’t get the reference? Keep scrolling, it’s not for you.

              You guys are so funny! Okay so FOUR semi-pointy teeth absolutely makes us omnivores I CANNOT believe what an idiot I’ve been!
