Discounting any of their conclusions which can be shown (or reasonably expected) to be shown to derive from the faulty premises of geocentrism is not.
People get tired of the "same old thing" from the "same old people" and resort to intellectual shortcuts.
The "egocentrism" was simply a pun involved by switching the letters around, together with an example of another ad hominem for reference...I have been accused of egocentrism by others before, but what would *they* know, anyway? ;-)
Thanks for replying instead of putting me on a virtual ignore list.
Cheers!
Discounting *ALL* of someone's posts on the grounds that they adhere to geocentrism is, strictly speaking, ad hominem.
But I didn't say *ALL* posts from the poster should be ignored. I provided what I thought was relevant background info.

Sometimes it's actually a veiled compliment. And it's always good to have someone whispering in your ear. IMHO, it's better to be accused of this than of false humility. :) Cheers.

Sigh.... some can tell 'em, and some can't.
