87. Here you go:

If I have been so clearly "bashing and insulting others" then it seems strange that the Mods have not deleted a post of mine (since last Nov?)...and stranger still that these "clearly intended insults" and "personal slurs" cannot be now shown or seen.

Did you not mean to suggest that I accused you of something? If not, then I suggest you pick your words a bit more carefully in the future.

Yup...and the problem with deleted posts is that no one outside the Mods knows if it was
lame ad hom ("You are dumb") or serious/serial abusive behaviour("You are a filthy hateful biggot fuck off out of here")


Hmm, either way that's an ad hominem attack.

And one day I'll work out how "you are dumb" is ad hom but "mean & dirty path with personal slurs" aint and how "Asshole" will replace the 'That Term whos name must not be mentioned'.

You're kidding, right? Unless you're having a discussion of results from a WISC, "you are dumb" is a personal attack meant to discredit an argument without refuting it by attacking the person instead.

Oh, and you can say fundamentalist atheist all you want to. At the very least it'll let me know where you're coming from.
