If you exhibit critical thinking, you risk ad hominem assaults by others, who neither feed, house nor clothe you.
Which begs the question, of why you should give a rat’s ass about someone else’s opinion!
I don’t give a rats ass about their opinions of me or Candace. People can have good information on topics that I don’t. That’s why I read the comments to see if any FReepers (who are typically pretty smart) have information that I don’t have.
When I see every post is just making personal attacks, it leads me to believe they don’t actually have any information.
It does strike me as odd that people who are often the victims of the ad hominem attacks usually have one shared opinion in common. And those making the ad hominem arguments also often have a certain trait in common.
The more pay attention, the more I notice it.
