    It’s an argument and an insult.

    An actual Ad hominem debate tactic implies it’s a distraction from making an actual argument by trying to discredit the person who you’re arguing against/or their source.

      i love that we are in agreement during this conversation, and are getting more and more precise and correct as we go on.

      those are my favourite conversations.
