My name is herrderremy, and I like to use ad hominem attacks on people who scare me intellectually. Then I like to make it seem like I'm cool by telling people on the internets that I'm actually very smart and am just choosing to not converse.

That's cool Jeremy, but I defy you to take one of my wall'o'texts and determine where exactly I regurgitated it from. Sure I post a lot of videos, pictures, essays, and websites that other people have created, but that part of my posting is simply intended to create awareness where there was none in the first place. Sure I post a lot of one liner ad hominem attacks as well, but those are obviously tongue in cheek; when I actually don't know enough to speak on a subject intelligently, I don't have a problem admitting that. I do my utmost not to use fallacious techniques to engage my opponents.
When I do speak on something, those are my own thoughts. Of course they are regurgitated from somewhere, as original thought is actually a fantasy since we all are simply products of a collection of perceptions and sensations, and all of our thoughts merely reactions to external stimuli. When I write, I am not directly quoting or paraphrasing, but rather drawing on my breadth of experiences to make a statement which is unique to how my brain works.
Attack what I'm saying all you want, but don't cheapen yourself by making things up that don't exist. If you don't like me, that's fine, but don't like me for something actual, not the prejudices you have about me.
