Haha, sure. All my fault. My username made you do it. And I'm projecting?

I name myself after a fallacy because less cogent posters see them everywhere. Had I used Pol Pot as an example you wouldn't have batted an eye, but mention Hitler and you don't even wait to see what I'm saying before you're screaming Godwin!

Similarly, you don't even know what an Ad Hominem is.

Wow. Try reading a different book.

Oh come on. It's appallingly bad manners to rub it in like that, and what you've done is just as bad as what we chided the other fellow for. If you can't behave better than this on HN, you shouldn't be here.
He wished me (and countless millions) dead. "Just as bad" seems like a slight stretch...

As for appalling manners, I rubbed nothing in. I didn't gloat, or even reference your warning. I answered his continued justification for his threats, which is that I'm a troll and the implicit message that had I been, his words to me would have been just fine.
