      Ad hominen means trying to win the argument through the properties of the other person.

      It’s a common mistake. Some, uh, less capable people confuse “ad hominem” for “insult”.

      You’re alive. Thus your soy allergy wasn’t a death sentence, was it? Are you dead?

      Hemp IS cannabis, dummy, and most beef are not “grass finished” but feed fed.

      Not like you’re trying to avoid having said something stupid about a thing you don’t understand, is it…? ;>

        Okay did you just disagree with the definition of ad hominin? Anyway clearly you are trying to make this devolve into name calling. I guess because you don’t have anything else, I don’t know and honestly I don’t really care.

        I am going to block you because I can and you have nothing productive left to say.

        Good luck buddy.

          No, I didn’t. You misconstrued the definition.

          You think “ad hominem” means “insult”, dumb-dumb.

          Here’s how it works: if I say “you’re wrong because you’re dumb”, that’s an ad hominem. If I say “you’re wrong, here’s extensive reasoning why, and also, on a sidenote, you’re dumb as shit”, that is not an ad hominem.

          The definition is “(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining”.

          "Rather than the position they’re maintaining.**

          You’re having a hard time with this part because you don’t have a position to maintain. :)

          Are you dead? Did having a soy allergy mean that you died? Was it a… death sentence? Am I speaking to the after-life?

          Hemp IS cannabis, anyone thinking it’s a different plant is rather brainwashed and illiterate. (It takes like 10 seconds to check that on Google.)

          “I’m going to block you because you made me feel bad and I’m not man enough to admit when I say something stupid” yeah I’m not surprised :D
