Reply #217: Do you often find people weakminded enough to believe such nonsense?

Even if I had actually insulted anything or anyone, it doesn't "weaken" any points I made, unless we're talking about people who so lack the ability of abstraction they can't distinguish tomfoolery from a perfectly valid retort. Personally I give most on DU that much credit, but YMMV. So I reject your trite cliché outright, but don't let me stop you from repeating it as I do enjoy watching people repeat such asinine babble and honestly believe they are making a valid assertion.

Furthermore any insult I made was to his argument and not to him personally. Apparently that's a subtle difference you missed entirely. Given the content it's really better than it deserved to begin with.
