Way to go? Really? Exactly how many times and ways do we have to define 'ad hominem' before the definition sinks in?
Slip, your entire paragraph is in blatant violation of our posting guidelines, and to tell the truth, I'm kind of tired of having to use the phrase "posting guidelines". I'll say it one more time: THE IDEA. NOT THE PERSON. Here's an example: GOOD: Slip, your post's content was entirely unacceptable. The usage of perjoratives which directly target the speaker are clearly against our rules, and it's beyond baseless...hell, I'd call it one giant flying leap of an assumption to take someone's recycled altruisms and pseudo eastern mysticism and correlate them to a cult leader. The complete lack of any form of logic or rational thought in this post borders on incoherent misanthropic venting. Surprising, given some of your previous insights. BAD: Jesus christ, Slip, what are you fucking retarded? How many goddam times do I have to say we don't tolerate ad hominems on this board before people take this crap seriously? Do I just have to start dropping the ban hammer everytime some ass clown like yourself pops off wise because they don't see the point of another member's philosophy? You act like a freakin five year old ADD class clown fartin in school for laughs! See the difference? Tinker has been put on moderation for ad hom. Others have been warned. You've been warned now too. It's one thing to have a posting style which aggressively challenges AN IDEA. It's another entirely to directly and specifically berate a person, in no uncertain terms. Applauding it is no better, Gruff. Can we all go back to being grown ups now? On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 11:26 AM, gruff <[email protected]> wrote: > > Heh heh heh.
