Blackcatter, It's called Argumentum ad Hominem. Discredit the man and you discredit his argument. It's a common enough ploy and you really shouldn't be surprised to find it used on you.
--I did not discredit anyone. I suggested the person was not working from the same information. Quit trying to stir up trouble.


It saves the accuser the drudgery of actually having to think about refuting any points you may have made.
--But I have now refuted all of them. I notice you aren't dealing with any facts here, just trying to start a fight. Grow up.


It's so much easier to dismiss you as an ignorant nitwit who doesn't read the right newspapers or whatever.
--no newspapers were mentioned. This was about what was seen on television. I did not use the words "ignorant nitwit" in my original post and I resent the implication that that is anything like what I meant. Quit your asinine troll behavior, please.
