My Son Needs Some Help. Anti-Evolution Speaker Coming to His School

[renie408]

83. Do you know what an ad hominem attack is?

It's when you go after the person, not the argument. You already did that when you automatically assumed that my son is intellectually lazy and in your original comments about me. #2 is in no way an ad hominem attack. #3, maybe. And AGAIN you are assuming facts not in evidence. Which is what you have done all along. How do you KNOW I am a helicopter parent? Please, contact my children's teachers and ask them how many times they saw me in class. I don't do my kid's homework for them, I don't hover; I do keep a close eye on my kids, but have YOU tried raising kids today? You have to. You need me to be wrong and a bad parent to justify your original comments and your continued defense of those and other things you have said. Cause if my son isn't intellectually lazy and I am NOT a 'helicopter parent' and NEITHER of us is ignorant of the facts of evolution and I NEVER asked for 'ammunition' and I AM just a parent who asked a simple question, then you look pretty much like a jerk. So, all of those things must be true and you must continue to argue as if they are, cause you just KNOW you aren't a jerk, right?

You arrogantly jumped to some false conclusions and reacted to those instead of to any evidence available to you. When confronted, you have continued to defend your incorrect assumptions, continued to form new assumptions and react to those instead of to anything factual and continued to argue using several logical fallacies. Are you SURE you are a scientist?? Because you have exhibited no logic that I can discern.

Next time slow down and respond to what you read and not what you read into it. When you make a mistake, say 'my bad' instead of defending your mistake by making more. If you do that, then next time you will not only LOOK like less of a jerk, you may actually start to BE less of a jerk.

I debated whether this post was actually an ad hominem attack, but since our discussion from your first response has been primarily about your behavior and whether or not you are egotistical, I think not.
