When you don’t like someone’s arguments, attack the source! I like to use rhetoric to debate topics, ideally with facts and statistics. Attacking someone else

When you don’t like someone’s arguments, attack the source! I like to use rhetoric to debate topics, ideally with facts and statistics. Attacking someone else personally, or making up a lot of stuff about them, is a very weak line of attack (for me at least) when trying to push your point forwards. This is an anonymous Internet forum so I don’t have a degree, I was raised by a single mother and an abusive uncle who beat me with a belt when I asked for more eggs at breakfast. What difference does it make?
