    Go through a dictionary of your choosing and post the cited definitions of:

    Ad hominem

    Character

    Attribute

    Idea

    Attack

    Stupid

    Intelligence

    And I’ll prove to you by your own cited definitions why you’re wrong without going outside of the definitions.

    I trust Merriam Webster if you do.

        So the debate is about what words mean, but when asked to examine what any dictionary defines those words as to understand and agree upon their meanings, you fold immediately?

        If the debate was about this, and I offered this to you, then if we follow your anecdote, it was actually me who lead you to the pacific ocean but then you decided to sit on the beach instead of swimming.

        I guess you don’t believe your argument is predicated on facts in that case since you dropped it the moment you were faced with scrutinizing it against a reputable source.

        Goodbye.
