This is called ad hominem, and has no place here.
- miningape 1y agoIt's only ad hominem when the argument is an insult. In this case there's an insult inside the argument, but importantly the insult is not the argument being made. Therefore it is not ad hominem.
- ziddoap 1y agoThe overall point, as you obviously understand, is that one should avoid personal insults when making a comment here.
