I here to fore propose that the ever constant use of the ad hominem logical fallacy should either be banned, which of course would be an impossibility given the level of intellect around here, or that it at least be mandated the the ad hominum logical fallacy be accompanied by specific evidence contradictory to the evidence presented. Used by itself and with such frequency it is a form of infantilism. In my humble opinion of course.
Notice that the infant is asleep

Follow Ups:
I like to respond with the definition. When someone goes ad hominem respond by pasting in the definition of it. It takes no effort and is kind of funny. It's fun to do it with trolls too.
See link.

That is not an ad hominem attack. It's a direct insult because he said something that had no clear meaning and it annoyed me. I consider direct insults to be equally or more valuable and a lot more fun than vaguely insulting people with indirect and/or unclear language. It's just a style preference.
But I don't support banning them.

and when responses are misinterpreted via a persecution complex? well ...
it would appear to me that he sees you amongst those hurling stones too
same here, even when I've risen to his defense, so I quit doing it
it's time to stop trying to get through to him as well I suppose
he either doesn't take it seriously or is so driven it's moot
if I could just place my finger on why I bothered in the first place, hmm
ah well,
An ignore user feature.
I'd donate generously for that one.
Because any body of sub-thread under an 'ignore' post wouldn't make sense. That'd just remove all context that underlies any subsequent discussion. Might look weird too, something like: "THIS INMATE HAS BEEN SILENCED!", splashed up and down forum pages.To retrieve missing context, a 'show' option could be made available to regurgitate the full text of an 'ignored' post.
Already sounding complicated. But better to have complications than to be overrun with troll-posts on forum pages.
I too would gladly pay for an 'ignore' feature! Say $20 bucks a year for the ignore privilege. Would bring in substantial revenue for AA.

IMHO, XenForo has the best ignore feature. But it doesn't have to support AA's beloved classic view.
Probably the easiest way to implement an ignore feature with the classic view is to hide any post and the entire subthread under it. Obviously, that's potentially going to hide a lot of discussion by other posters. But for the two uses I have in mind, Lummy on the Rock forum and tweaker in Central, it would be fine.

Absolutely!
"Do not show posts by tweaker456"
I too would pay handsomely for that.
We need to collectively ignore and not respond to his posts.

any vitamin and health related postings that aren't accepted by leading medical and clinical authorities. I'm sure you're not a conspiracy theorist who thinks the medical establishment is somehow in cahoots with Big Pharma to destroy the public's health.
Freedom of speech should be banned?
Just because a website states something is fact... doesn't mean it is. There are plenty of untruths on the grand old Internet.
I think there could be much better rules implemented.
I'll probably regret this but ...
you feel that you're being personally attacked with logical fallacies?
you think everyone's a fool for not accepting you as a 'personal Jesus'? no one appreciates all your 'internet work'?
why are you so needy? seriously ... boo f***ing hoo
poor you
See what I mean folks? It is not I that is needy, it is the estimated 65% of people in the USA that are Vitamin D insufficient and like around 28% who are considered deficient and a huge amount of people worldwide that are deficient and insufficient in D which is without a doubt causing huge amounts of completely unnecessary suffering at many levels, Covid-19 and other health problems. This is monstrous. Am I supposed to sit by and do nothing like almost everyone else? I have to look at myself in the mirror in the morning when I shave.

it's the evangelical like fervor you bring to the table on all things Covid and UFO ... you don't post on them for discussion, you're preaching your opinions as gospel while positing that the sources you offer as the basis for them are unimpeachable even when it's been demonstrated that they most definitely are not ... then haranguing anyone who disagrees, questions you, calls out those sources, offers a different perspective, or tries to give a humorous take on the subject ... all while wailing the lament of the persecuted, yet you are not above making personal attacks while doing so ... which, if not galling, is certainly hypocritical
the confounding aspect is that you're rather erudite and reasonable on other subjects and impress as probably being an over-all good fellow IRL
Repeatedly posting here does nothing for "the world" and actually hurts your message by infuriating and boring inmates.
He really considers the asylum to be HIs toy box. I have suggested he start his own message board, but I'm thinking that that would be a very lonely place.
I crave your company 2000.

The "I know you are but what am I" comeback only works before your turn 13. Why not just let it go?
YES !!! Other people's health is none of your business. It is their business, and nobody likes to be nagged. When people are lectured to, they often push back. THAT is what you are experiencing. Why do you feel that it is your personal responsibility to preach to us?
