- justonenote 2y agoDo you honestly think an insult never brought about a change in a person? You never think a carefully landed and accurate insult made someone reconsider their position? Weird, because in my experience, that has happened to every single person I know and myself. Whether it's at the start or end of a comment is not really the point.

- justonenote 2y agoThings are very black and white these days, no room for shades.
- mrbungie 2y agoIt may do depending in context, but that's not the point and in fact is widely recognized as a ad hominem argument and fallacious by definition. Most emotionally mature people would stop arguing after something like that.
