in other words, everybody on these threads should disregard your posts as they are NOTHING MORE than your personal OPINION.

while you are welcome to hold ANY opinion (it's called FREEDOM of speech/expression), may i tell you that yours are about as simplistic & "thought-FREE" as those of "x", the "useful idiot".

“An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: “argument to the person”, “argument against the man”) consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to an irrelevant characteristic about the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. It is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem abusive, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or personally attacking an argument’s proponent in an attempt to discredit that argument.”

Typical tactic of trolls.
