Do you have any argument or why do you resort to ad hominem?

Do you have any argument or why do you resort to ad hominem?
- xtiansimon 9mo agoI'm calling "Gríma Wormtongue". I find their response confrontational--You're going to *have* to (defend yourself)...Check! Check! Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang! Not for nothing, our current American (extremist) government is raising stink about "professional agitators". I don't see them. I don't believe it's happening. But I have no proof nor experience to support my belief. I'm stuck with this Cat both dead and alive. What I do witness are news stories such as "X's new feature reveals foreign origins of some popular U.S. political accounts" [1] "Pro-Scottish independence accounts on X go dark in Iran internet blackout" [2]. Therefore, I do believe people or governments or something else are creating anonymous accounts to sow division and agitate already upset communities. I'm just pointing out the user is very fresh. And I think that's a valid response. I also used to participate on /. back when it was more interesting, and I liked their use of "Anonymous Coward" for users who want to truck out their controversial take. I don't think that's what is happening here. It's more of a mike-drop comment. Bon mot. Spiked football. Wake up and smell what the Rock is Cooking. AH. NO.
