Those comments that he made speak for themselves IMO.

By the way, I have met #s in person before. Several times. Not anywhere near in having a 'tenuous grasp on reality'. His achievements are pretty darn thick and impressive, and he strikes me as having actually a firmer 'grasp on reality' than most people even 40 or 50 years his junior.

Nice drive by ad hom.

Classic Quad. Right-winger bashes a leftist over and over again. Leftist then responds and then other right-wingers jump in to point out the leftist's subsequent ad hom. Completely on-point for this forum. Also completely on-point is Tanq complaining about other people's ad homs while ignoring his own constant use of them. It's honestly not surprising why leftists bail from this place.

Im *just* denoting to *you* on *your* comment that #s opinion (opinion, mind you) on Kamala is something that speaks to one's 'having a tenuous grasp on reality'.

I know you were denoting to *me*. You are the ad hom police for the leftists on the Quad. Right-wingers have free reign tho...

Quote:I dont agree with you on just about *anything*. I guess that should be righteous justification for denoting *you* as 'having a tenuous grasp on reality'. Mind you, I dont. Funny that.

And, for the righteous and defenseless guy that you are on the endless complaining of how bad *my* ad homs are, (hold my tiny violin for awhile) just note your proverbial hair trigger of 'having a tenuous grasp on reality' for someone else expressing a very negative opinion on Kamala, which you ostensibly disagree. Absolutely rich there 93.

LOL. That's a very charitable way to put it. The dude literally called her "the most reprehensible person on earth". Despite all the child traffickers and murderers out there... KH is THE MOST reprehensible. It's outlandish. It's way beyond "a very negative opinion". Of course he could say that she's terrible. What he said was absurd and you know it.

And, in response to an *opinion*, you chirp in on a "tenuous grasp of reality".

I think Kamala *is* an extraordinarily reprehensible person. I would tell you why I think that, but that involves me telling you about people with whom she has interacted --- and we both know that *your* response to that is that you really do not care about such evidence, or that you simply discount that first hand evidence. You and I have played that rodeo before and I am fairly confident of that particular outcome.

You can think she's reprehensible. It doesn't bother me. I don't think she's that great myself. I'm sure we can both come up with a long list of "more reprehensible people" on earth regardless of what your contacts had to say.

Quote:And, in taking an opposite tack, if *you* had opined that 'so and so is the most reprehensible person on the earth', I dont think I would believe that that opinion of *yours* is evidence of a "tenuous grasp on reality", no matter how much I might disagree with the statement. Nor would I think that OO, nor #s would have repsonded to your opinion in that matter.

No matter how *you* slice it, *your* response to a matter of *opinion* is ---- that speaker 'has tenuous grasp on reality'. Got it. *You* chose a direct ad hom based on a matter of opinion. Again, noted loud and clear.

What *other* matters of pure opinion will engender *your* ad hom on 'ha[ving] a tenuous grasp on reality"?

Yes... opinions can be detached from reality. Do you disagree?

Pretend we were talking about baseball.

#'s: Carlos Correa is the greatest player in baseball history.
Me: That's ridiculous. THE greatest player in the history of baseball? That is absurd.
#'s: Well... I think he is.
Me: Better than Babe Ruth? Willie Mays? Mike Trout? You've got be kidding.
#'s: You don't think he's a good baseball player???

It's fine to think Kamala is reprehensible. Like I said, I'm no fan. But to say that she's "the most reprehensible person on earth" in light of people who torture and murder children, people who try to carry out genocide, child traffickers, etc. is just silly.

So yes... opinions can be detached from reality.

I am sure that my asking you to look a tad at your very hypocritical behavior will be added to my list of sins. Albeit there is no ad hom in anything of the above mind you....

And, to be honest, 93, ever since Ham PMed me and asked me to help tone down the increasingly antagonistic nature of the board, I think I have done a pretty good job at that.

I agree that your tone has improved over the past couple weeks. Definitely less ad homs. That's appreciated. What is annoying is to have you castigate me for ad homs when #'s was completely antagonistic towards me this morning for what I felt was little-to-no provocation.

Yes, he was antagonistic. He said he felt it was wasting his time to speak with you. That engendered *your* fairly pure ad hom to him solely on a matter of opinion.

See the above comments on responses to opinions.

LOL... among other things.
