Accusing someone of exaggerating the truth to push an agenda is ad hominem because that does not address the argument. You are attacking the character of that arguer instead. As a result, your claim that I am making several untrue accusations actually fits your description "exaggerating the truth to push an agenda" better than when you leveled at accusation at thismeintiel.

You also misconstrue dissent as attacks on you. As a result, your claims that you've been disrespectful also falls short since if you actually have been respectful, then you would not have made the false equivalence of disagreement as "being constantly attacked".

So how about you try this again? Present your argument, provide your evidence in forms of links (so no "Wikipedia said so". You have to link the original sources), and we go from there.

He nor I believe that was an attack on his character.  It was just being cocky.  You did make untrue statements, I did respond to his sequel argument, you just missed it.  And I did not intentionally attack his character.  I didn’t misconstrue anything.  I know the difference between a disagreement and an attack.  When someone begins to stalk me and openly mocks my intelligence, that is an attack.  

I have a phone, linking is near impossible.  It’s why I said Wikipedia, because the site I was actually looking at I was struggling to link, so I just said Wikipedia because it was easier than trying to type the name of the actual site.  I didn’t care because no one that I replied to linked their evidence either, so I figured nobody cared, but that was before you showed up.

Whether he took it well doesn't change the fact that you still resorted to ad hom and hand-waving is as being cocky doesn't really help you either. Make your points and leave it there. And while you insist that you are not misconstruing anything, you continue to do so with lofty claims of being stalked and having your intelligence openly mocked. If that was the case, then you should have reported those posts for the mod team to handle the behavior. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but it seems that you want to take your word for it without any further question. No thanks.

I also have a phone and linking is not near impossible. You are being grossly hyperbolic as I can simply tap the superscript and then tap the link to the original source. Plus, you can also mention the source by name, such as Box Office Mojo (or BOM), and other people can google it to verify themselves. The fact that you didn't do either of those things calls into question if "nobody" really "cared".

So are you going to continue to make excuses or will you actually prove me wrong by restarting the conversation by showing your points and backing them up? Here's your perfect chance.
