He's another prime example of someone who goes above and beyond the call.
That's not at all logical. It's pathetic ad hominem. So because a person says something, the opposite must automatically contain truth? That's
completely illogical and false. It's really just an attempt to silence your critics, and it's proof that your supporters aren't interested in the
truth; they're dead-set in their bias and will simply ignore anything that contradicts that bias. Ironically, ad hominem attacks of this nature
frequently serve to motivate the person being attacked to post even more knowing the goal is to silence them and knowing it will upset those who
attacked them.
