He didn't merely call him "ignorant", but "crazy". Both are ad-hominem attacks. What I don't get here is why you're trying to soft-pedal this very obvious fact.

"Crank", "Toxic" "Bully"

Accurate and justified, in light of the aforementioned unprovoked attacks.

He just thinks that because he's a billionaire, he can get away with it.

I see so when you make ad-hominem attacks they are ok, but if you don't agree with someone & they make ad-hominem attacks they are a "toxic bully"

The situation is in no way symmetric. I think we can let it go at that.
