You admitted here that you have Aspergers.

I suggested that I might have it because I exhibit so many of the characteristics of Aspergers, like an astonishing ability to focus on whatever I set my mind to work on, coupled with a lack of regard for the contempt others may direct at me. It was a psuedo joke then, but it has become a pretty good joke ever since.

I personally don't think "Aspergers" is all that abnormal in a society. I find that bi-polor disorder and hyperactivity are also well within the range of what is relatively normal in a population of quirky humans. There are plenty enough people out there who exhibit real characteristics of "crazy".

It is for this reason that I do not consider "Aspergers" to be so much of an insult as I consider it to be a complement, like "Weaponized Autism."

And it isn’t an ad hominem when it’s the truth.

So if a person is ugly, and you call them "ugly" it isn't an ad hominem because it's the truth?

I think an ad hominem is any effort to degrade someone, and thereby convince others that their opinion is unworthy of consideration.

You suggested no such thing!. You said here you have Aspergers Syndrome and you said in spite of it you were going to keep on doing what it is you’re doing here. And to think I had a bit of sympathy for you because if you remember you clueless clown I told you my grandson has it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder dude. Stupidity is out there for all the world to see. You’re a prime example of it.
