Ok... now we know you are being disingenuous and not arguing in good faith. You (unless you are not reading these) just admitted to being overly verbose, pompous and that it makes you look bad. Also that you are making ad-hominem arguments while trying to claim other arguments/points are wrong because they are ad-hominem.

I must bow in this display of wordsmithing, as you have done all this in just 2 words.

I didn't admit that. Reread what I wrote.

you are making ad-hominem arguments while trying to claim other arguments/points are wrong because they are ad-hominem.

I also did not do that. I was not saying that anyone's point was wrong when I insulted them. I insulted them because they were not actually addressing the argument. The insults were intended in what I wrote to them precisely because they weren't making an argument against what I was saying. They were being dismissive and I was returning that dismissiveness in kind.

Ok… and?

In response to:

You being pompous and overly verbose makes you look bad.

Oh another good ad-hominem, also I think maybe projection in this case.

I did not think I would have to explain what projection is in this context.

I insulted them because they were not actually addressing the argument. The insults were intended in what I wrote to them precisely because they weren’t making an argument against what I was saying. They were being dismissive and I was returning that dismissiveness in kind.

Oh and my point about your insulting people while trying to shut down arguments was that you are being a hypocrite and that further hurts your argument/point. You claiming someone is being "dismissive" by not agreeing with you is not really the defence you likely think it is.
