[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you claim ad hominem attack, you are claiming to be the victim. That's what that means.  [/quote]

No that is NOT what it means, and I posted the definition above.  An ad hominem attack is a logical fallacy, and when one is used in a discussion it is completely acceptable to point it out.  I am not a victim in any way, nor claiming to be one.

[quote=Anonymous]Others are not seeing this attack. [/quote]

I'll only respond to you since I cannot be sure there are others who wish you to speak for them.  The fact that you are not seeing it is because it appears you do not know what one is.  It's when you criticize the messenger personally, instead of the substance of the message.

[quote=Anonymous]In fact, as I said previously, you come off as the aggressor here, demanding proof from others, offering none for yourself and calling "attack" when someone says as much. You seem to be doing what you are claiming others are doing![/quote]

1. I did not make the original claim, the person making the claim has the burden of proof
2. Despite that, I actually DID provide data to the contrary
3. If demanding people provide evidence to support their claims is "aggressive", then I do not mind being labeled as such.  Better than than some poor kid not apply to Duke because of some BS his mom read on DCUM.[/quote]

Yikes, you are like a dog with a bone. Just trying to give you the perspective you are missing.  But, whatever,  man.[/quote]

Responding to you makes me a “ Dog with a bone”?

And you know that is yet another ad hominem right? Too funny.[/quote]

No, it really isn't. You have to look that up. [/quote]
