If you don't care that your ass is hanging out, that's up to you, but you need not choose to be offended at being informed when it is not obvious whether you're aware. No one could fault another for being earnest, even if dissenting. But no one tolerates phoneys, and that neither phoneys do either speaks volumes.

Nobody’s ass is hanging out except the whiny pedant who has nothing better to do than to go on ad hominem-filled diatribes based on nothing that is grounded in reality. And who’s comments are clearly absurd enough to get downvoted and flagged. Because they in no way shape or form are about the topic at hand.

I wonder who that person is in this conversation.

Once again, and for the last time, do you have anything to say about the comments themselves, or are you just going to keep breaking the guidelines to get your rocks off on insulting others and their grammar over a single word?

My argument was not ad hominem, as I was criticizing grammar, using sarcasm, but still not ad hominem since I neither attacked you nor OP personally, merely the bad grammar. Ironic, however, that your argument not only generously employs ad hominem but also bandwagon fallacies.

I mean, it was. You inferred qualities that don't exist in real life and hyperfixated on those instead of what was written, but go on sis.

> I mean,

Here we go again. Do you not understand the difference between speaking and writing? When composing an editable comment, you need not include the words you use when speaking to give yourself more time to think about what to say. You can take all the time you want to think and then make your thoughts clear before hitting reply, and you can also edit the comment. I can't fathom why you would waste a reader's time by indicating you had to think for a second before completing your thoughts. Let's see, well, um, could it be a problem with ego? Definitely.

> You inferred qualities that don't exist in real life and hyperfixated on those instead of what was written

I have no earthly idea what you are talking about. I inferred qualities that don't exist?? What are you referring to, exactly? Because I think instead you've just graduated your unsound reasoning to straw man.
