You know you are getting to the various vitriolic right wing nut job posters here on G-C-C when they have to resort to personal attacks to counter your responses. Or criticize your spelling and sentence structure.

Definition of AD HOMINEM

1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made.

Yes, I know, and could name them by name, but won't.

Yes I did, probably would not have if he simply just denounced vitriolic name calling, but he could not resist his own slide into vitriolic speech and name calling, in fact he started a thread simply for that purpose... Like I said, pobrecito.

That's really funny. First comment refers to the conservative side of the isle as "right wing nut jobs" and then goes on to bitch about people calling people names. Come on now that's funny I don't care who you are.

Interestingly, two OP's that I remember pleading for correct grammar and spelling on UHH were themselves riven with grammattical and even spelling errors, so don't sweat the small stuff.

As far as ad hominem attacks from the right wing nut jobs, you must be standing with the left wing nut jobs and unable to see those same ad hominem attacks being hurled from your side.

In fairness to the OP there are people here whose politics pretty much align with mine who go completely ballistic with name calling and pejorative language that seems to only detract from what otherwise would he a good or informative thread. Their intolerance and need for name calling closes down dialogue and smothers the points that they are trying to make... I am sure that I will take a few jabs for saying this.

The irony of this thread is that the OP opens a thread to complain about uncivil name calling with uncivil name calling... Childish.

I think when the OP posted this, he was being attacked (again) by SBW and/or bvm. These two never let up, calling names, dirty names, using words that should not be allowed here or anywhere. Calling people "retards" is something that's not allowed in polite society. You have to be really low to resort to this, I don't know about bvm, but SWB calls people that repeatedly. I know neither person has a strong grip on reality but why must they say things like that?

Here are three instances by SBW yesterday:

Yeah I read it trailer trash retard. I know exactly what it means retard. You are the one with trouble interpreting. You and trixie may. Trixie has been drinking extra today. Following your lead I guess.

Everything you have just posted is a lie. You are retarded liar. Go peddle that garbage on your other retarded liberals.

Are you retarded? You are certainly stupid and a fool. I just wandered if you had the burden of being retarded as well. You are retarded, correct?
