I seem to remember that being the consensus of another recent thread.
I’m sorry you didn’t like being called a beta and you feel it oversimplify’s your uniqueness. That being said, ad hominem attacks are never really useful, and whole threads dedicated to the task don’t really fit within the forum guidelines. If you feel ad hominem attacks don’t matter, then there’s no reason to use them. I’ve seen virtually everyone on this forum respond negatively to an ad hominem attack at one point or another, so whether it’s an annoymous forum or not, does not seem to change the fact that it does carry some impact.
Anyhow, I don’t really care about the justification for the beta like bully behavior on this useless thread, just don’t do it.
Blake keep doing what you doing! haters gona hate ya dig!
Holy irony, Batman!
BS, you always take the bait. I agree, thread idea is stupid and I think Greenman’s orignal intent of bashing Blake has been subverted by the general humor of the forum.
So telling people that crowd bullying behavior makes them look like followers rather than leaders is an ad hominem attack? Nice try switching sides with the crowd though.
I feel like I’m at church with all the Latin being thrown around.
Oh, Swannie. You do love to argue on the internet. Yes, saying “I’m sorry you didn’t like being called beta” in a patronizing way is ad hominem. I, in fact, have not used an ad hominem attack in this thread, unless you consider a absurdist google image search for “Blake McCallister” ad hominem. I much prefer “leader” and “followers” you used in your last post to “alpha” and “beta”. I don’t know why, but when I hear people say “beta” I immediately picture some PUA douche like Tucker Max. Call it a personal bias.

That’s called waffling if you’re a republican, or evolving if you’re a democrat.
I think you need to look up the definition of ad hominem. Patronizing comments =/= a personal attack. But I am sorry you feel that way. I will also be sure to use brainwash approved nomenclature in the future to avoid any unwanted word association.
Ahh, the AF Latin moment.
Ego quasi sexus.
You won’t hear that in church, well maybe after mass in the sacristy if you’re an alter boy.

Nah,

Clearly CT is more awesome than Blake
Why take a breather? Just do both at once.
