If you are a stone faced android and don’t appreciate irony, reasoning and laughing, DON’T READ THIS POST.
A CLARIFICATION ABOUT WHAT “AD HOMINEM” IS TO SOW. It is a matter of shoe fitting.
There is a common religious saying.
“God loves the sinner but hates sin”
Is this an “ad hominem” statement?
Not likely, because it is not against the “sinner”.
“God hates sin but loves the sinner”
How about this?
Still not likely, so the order of words make no difference.
Yet, at the end, “God” puts the “sinner” into hell...but “He loves the sinner”.
Does it make sense that “God loves the sinner but hates sin” and the “sinner” ends up in hell, in eternal punishment?
If the “sinner” doesn’t repent from his/her “sin”, then “God” will put the sinner into hell.
What does repentance got to do with the “sinner” in the claim that “God loves the sinner but hates sin”?.
According to the claim, “God loves the sinner but hates sin”, BEFORE any kind of repentance takes place.
If “God loves the sinner but hates sin”, WHY does “God” punish the “sinner” and leaves “sin” unpunished?
An “argument” CANNOT exist without the CREATOR of that “argument”.
If you are religious, you believe that everything was CREATED by “God”, who is the CREATOR.
When people are saying all kinds of things about “God” and not about “His arguments/creation, even sin”, ISN’T THAT AN “AD HOMINEM” ATTACK ON “GOD”?
Those sayings are DIRECTED towards “God”, not towards “His arguments/creation, even sin”.
So, obviously those attacks are “ad hominem” attacks towards “God”.
Was “God’s arguments/creation, even sin” responsible for the genocides the Israelis did to nations?
Was “God” responsible for the genocides the Israelis did to nations?
Were the Israelis responsible for the genocides they did to nations?
The claim that “God’s arguments/creation, even sin” was responsible for the genocides the Israelis did to nations doesn’t wash very well. Just as the popular, corporate slogan of today; “I am just doing my job”.
So, it was either “God” or the “Israelis” or both, who were responsible for the genocides of nations. This last argument cannot be used as a valid argument because IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE “AD HOMINEM” as the responsibility of genocide is DIRECTED towards entities themselves, NOT towards their “arguments/creation, even sin”.
What would YOU reader rather have, if you would have to choose?
A HARMLESS “ad hominem” BULLSHIT “attack” or REAL “genocide”?
People who are out of arguments or want to derail another, ALWAYS run and squeal like a stuck pig, “ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem”, when THEY are called of what they are.
If you lie, YOU ARE A LIAR. If you steal, YOU ARE A THIEF. If you murder, YOU ARE A MURDERER. IT IS IMMATERIAL WHAT YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE ABOUT LYING, STEALING AND MURDER!
Interestingly, if it would be stated to these “ad hominem” NUTS that “You are so smart”, THEY WOULD NEVER EVER PROTEST OR OBJECT AND YELL “AD HOMINEM, AD HOMINEM” but soak it in and wallow in it!
WHY IS THAT?
Because it FEEDS their INFERIOR (BECAUSE THEY ARE CHILDREN IN ADULT BODIES) ESSENCE OF WHAT THEY ARE! THEY DON’T KNOW THEMSELVES AND BLAME OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY ARE!
When somebody says “You are so smart”, that IS also an ATTACK. A FRIENDLY ATTACK.
Haven’t you heard of “Friendly fire”?
You would be SHOCKED, how many soldiers died in “Friendly fire” but you are not told this. People MEAN good but what they say isn’t BENEFICIAL to the one they MEAN good. THAT IS “FRIENDLY FIRE”! Some of you readers probably can’t see this. You CAN NOT have only one side of the equation. You CAN NOT ignore Newton’s law of action/reaction.
Whoever is saying, “You are so smart”, is giving/pushing energy towards that individual. What the dummy does with that energy, is TAKING AND SOAKING it in, INSTEAD OF THANKING AND GIVING IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM, WHERE IT BELONGS TO! THE TAKING AND SOAKING in the energy of the giving entity is a COVERT ENERGY STEALING! These energy thieves are VERY transparent (they don’t know it) and loooove to sit at the “high end” of the table in gatherings, to look important.
You reader can TEST some of your friends, relatives, family members. Tell them something they love to hear about themselves and watch for their reaction. PROBABLY NONE OF THEM WILL GIVE BACK THE ENERGY YOU GAVE TO THEM. You’ll find out pretty quick who is who. After a while, this process will be booooring though and time is much more well spent if you work on and improve yourself.
WHATEVER AN ENTITY WANTS YOU TO HAVE, YOU BETTER GIVE IT BACK TO THAT ENTITY, BECAUSE IT DOESN’T BELONG TO YOU. WHEN YOU PICK AND CHOSE WHAT YOU TAKE AND DON’T GIVE ALL BACK (HOLD THE KETCHUP AND THE ONION), IT MEANS YOU FAILED THE TEST AND YOU MUST REPEAT IT.
MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY IN HELL AS HELL IS REPUTATION. THEY ARE IN A CONSTANT LEARN/TEST/FAIL CIRCLE AND THEM “SPIRITUAL GURUS” (BLIND LEADING THE BLIND) ARE NO HELP TO THEM.
MOST OF THEM PEOPLE TURN TO THE CORPORATE, STATUS QUO ENTITIES, WHERE THEY BUY “INTELLIGENCE” FROM BUT NOT AN OUNCE OF “WISDOM” AS “WISDOM” CAN’T BE BOUGHT. After they paid for their “Intelligence”, the corporate, status quo entities give them some fancy paper they hang on the wall, for everybody to see!
SOW keeps NOTHING and doesn’t take credit for anything. SOW is NOT engaged in malicious, covert, hateful operations of any kind but things that are beneficial and useful to all. SOW POSTS information and knowledge for those who want them. PERIOD.
SOW was educated and lived in a different culture and the ethnicity is also unique. Not “National” but “Racial”. When somebody is yapping about “ad hominem”, “ad hominem”, SOW could VERY easily turn that same ALLEGED “ad hominem” attack into a RACIAL attack against SOW, which is kind of carry a hell of a lot more weight than a stuuupid “ad hominem” fiction, subject to INTERPRETATIONS.
How about, try to abide by the corporate, status quo Judge's statement; “KEEP THE PEACE AND BE OF GOOD BEHAVIOR”?
The unfortunate part is, if Mr. T keeps bothering SOW with HIS HATE LITERATURE, be prepared to suffer the VERBAL consequences.

SOW also had a post a few days ago about using Ozone to kill the corona virus.
Mr. T, was very quick to post THROUGH hoby that SOW is giving dangerous health advise to the readers or something to that effect.
So far, there is NOT A PEEP from Mr. T, for the above mentioned link from “mroxygen”, which is lo behold about the usage of Ozone.
MR. T.!
WHERE ARE YA!
WHERE IS YOUR DEBUNKING COMMENT ABOUT THE DANGERS OF OZONE TO “mroxygen”!
If ANYBODY is doing any “ad hominem”, HATEFUL attack against SOW, is Mr. T.
Not that long ago, Mr. T wanted SOW BANNED from RMN, then turns around, blatantly claiming he doesn’t hate SOW. Now, hoby is COUNTING that SOW was WARNED PREVIOUSLY about “ad hominem”. Sorry hoby, but don’t remember. If you keep counting it and REMEMBERING it, it must bother you somehow. Only YOU know how.
SOW NEVER, NEVER, NEVER DREW “FIRST BLOOD” AND WON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!
In order for ANYBODY to get offended, the offended simply ACCEPTS what is stated by the alleged “offender”, thereby the OFFENDED HURT HIMSELF/HERSELF. The alleged “offender” simply stated his/her OPINION about the offended.
Example.
Is it “ad hominem” attack if the psychiatrist tells you; “You are crazy”, after you presented your view, your side, your argument?
IF, YOU ACCEPT it, then YES, it must be an “ad hominem” attack on you.
IF, YOU FAIL TO ACCEPT it, then it is simply an OPINION of the psychiatrist. BIG DEAL! He/she has the right to his/her OPINION!
It is THAT simple!
For them “ad hominem” drug addicts.
“YOU ARE YOUR WORST ENEMY” and BLAMING OTHERS FOR IT! Children in adult bodies who never grew up! Belonging to the same group as the “Consensus” adult children.
