    Do you know what an ad hominem actually is? Telling someone that it’s okay to admit you are wrong is not an attack on you as a person.

      It is when you’re on your high horse telling me that I’m allowed to admit that I’m wrong when I wasn’t wrong and being facetious.

      You’ve made assumptions about my intentions and intelligence and tried to negate discussion without addressing any of my claims.

      It is an attack on my intelligence rather than my argument, so it’s an ad hominem.
