That implies that Nuckols is, shall we say, confused or in error. Hence you are criticizing his intelligence. Since you can only either criticize his point or his intelligence (and not both), and you are doing the latter it means that you weren't really criticizing his point. Therefore your objections are ad hominem, and can be summarily dismissed.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.com
