re #49

I’d have to agree. This comment thread is a slow trainwreck.

If Steve wants it unblocked let him do it himself.

Peter:
Instead of worrying who said what, isn’t it better to simply concern yourself with what was said? If you think I am trolling simply because I brought to attention Cross’s strange behaviour then you aren’t that much better than he is.

Getting on his knees in front of Lambert trying to impress him by saying he too is thought of as obnoxious dickhead makes me think he is not here to post anything other than something annoying. Isn’t that troll like behaviour?

Since it’s pretty clear this thread went off the tracks starting with post #47, perhaps John A or Steve could close it? It’s cluttering up the “Recent Comments” list.

Of course for purely immature trolling then I would introduce ‘Peter’ ‘Hearnden’ ‘farmer’ ‘and’ ‘climate’ ‘expert’

Dude come down. I was talking about the usage of Ad-hom, the quoting of your line was only the first available blatant example of a flat out insult.

I would have said the same thing but used “Prick” instead of “Dick”. “Dick” is so 70′s

Oh John
And Sid right. Call me rude, callous whatever but leave his El hombre? vrap for those who can use it an appropriate manner, otherwise abnoxious shouldn’t be left by itself.

John
It wasn’t meant to make you laugh. It was meant to help you see what kind of weasel you are. Pitter pattering off to tell Lambert you are turning into an obnoxious twit “just like Tim” is not my idea of pillow talk with my wife. Then again, these days who am I to judge what is considered good pillow talk in the modern modern age.

Seeing you brought up your private life, tell us, when you read her your quoted words about how great it is being thought of “as abnoxious as Tim” did she look even remotely aroused or did she exhibit a look of horror before she turned away with the comment “I’ve got a headache tonight, Honey”.
Sorry to bring up an image of your private life but you brought out in the open first.

Regards
The fist

My point would be that it’s highly overused, particuarly in climate change discusions.

And your definition would apply to points like “Industry funded” which is “Appealing to personal interests, prejudices, or emotions rather than to reason.” however, a term like “annoying dick” is an insult, no matter how valid teh insult may be.

Re #49, ET
I don’t get your point. We have no english word that can replace ad hominem.

Appealing to personal interests, prejudices, or emotions rather than to reason.

9 letters for that concept, not 66, is a good trade.
