Let's get real specific then - give me an example of an ad hominem attack I've used. Also, give me an example of you actually responding to anything I've said, or showing any kind of respect to anyone with a different opinion than yours.

To quote the great Patton Oswalt on respecting differing opinions and beliefs:
"You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs." No, you don’t. That’s what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: “That is fucking stupid. Are you kidding me?" I acknowledge that you believe that, that’s great, but I’m not going to respect it. I have an uncle that believes he saw Sasquatch. We do not believe him, nor do we respect him!"
