    says the bottom canines

    The bottom what? Bottom canines? So you’re arguing they’re not what they are literally called?

      Still dying to know how the tooth’s name at all indicates anything of its function. Canines are literally omnivores. Most primates use theirs for fighting. So please, if you’re done with the ad hominem I’d love to see you try to defend this here comment.

          “garbage” ‘gibbering nonsense’

          Are you a conservative by chance? Masterfully sidestepping the question yet again!

            Are you a conservative by chance?

            Was that meant as an ad hominem? I thought you didn’t like those.

            Garbage was a reference to what you were adding to the “discussion”, not you as a person, so doesn’t qualify as ad hominem.

            Same for gibbering nonsense.

              I ask you questions and you sidestep them over and over and over again and I’m adding garbage to the conversation?

                Yes, you add garbage into the conversation (disingenuous questions) and you get garbage out (me ignoring the question).

                That’s another word you got wrong. I’m not sidestepping anything. I am blatantly ignoring it.

                Or is it only fun when you’re doing it?

                I’m just having a good time.

                    Calling my arguments

                    Oh, so you have an argument now?

                    Nobody arguing in good faith says:

                    What’s my argument? I’m listening.

                    If you feel like your argument has been misinterpreted, or that a counter argument is irrelevant, someone who is arguing in good faith would restate their argument to indicate why the counter argument was irrelevant. Not “guess what my argument is” so that they can avoid stating something that would have to actually defend.

                    Every comment you’ve made since I pointed that out has been ad hominem tu quoque, or a ‘no, you.’

                    Your entire post was a “no you”. Pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy is not a tu quoque, because I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I’m just pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy.

                    Everything I have said is in good faith

                    Ah yes, that classic markers of someone having a good faith discussion:

                    If you want to feel better about your choices I’m not the one you need to convince.

                    Downvote if you can’t refute!

                    unlike you I have a philosophy of live and let live.

                    (There’s another of your trademark ad hominem attacks!)

                    You keep at it though, I believe in you!

                    Cool, thanks. Very helpful. Loving talking to you, it’s been so constructive.

                    The world is full of things that have nothing to do with you. Instead of getting bent out of shape about it you can just move along. You don’t get the reference? Keep scrolling, it’s not for you.

                    You guys are so funny! Okay so FOUR semi-pointy teeth absolutely makes us omnivores I CANNOT believe what an idiot I’ve been!

      And how, pray tell, does the name ‘canines’ factor into your argument? I’m dying to know.
