Sure, and a MAGAt Trumper can say something that's true as well. I will still call out their shitty identity because they are the enemy of progress.
Well like, that's just your opinion man.
The problem is you didn't just call out their shitty identity
you also tried to use it to negate their assertion
Or said another way, you made an ad hominem attack and I called you YOU out on it.
I would absolutely rather fall victim to a debate fallacy rather than blatant bigotry. The original commentor is absolutely a bigot by their own admission, however my logical extension of their broadcasting their own bigotry doesn't necessarily fall into an ad hominem attack. All I ever said was that the original commentor was arguing in bad faith.
You absolutely did fall into an ad hominem attack by putting words in my mouth. I never attempted to negate their assertion, address their assertion, or even summarize their assertion. I simply said their assertion was made in bad faith.
And we can probably agree to disagree on that. -Cheers and enjoy your Thanksgiving (if US based of course)
