 The "dismissive ad hom" lies implicit in the term "Slayer", which is meant to connote "nutcase", "crackpot" and/or "anti-scientific" ideas. It is a commonly used warmist rhetorical tool to dismiss any argument against one's own, employed in the cases when one doesn't want to (or can't) go through the process of piecing together an actual, proper counterargument. You do not actually address the argument itself, what is really being said. You just dismiss it offhand. You know this, Scott. And still you used the term to define my "approach". If someone proclaimed that you, whatever you actually wrote or said, promoted fascist or racist ideas, would you be fine with this? After all, they didn't call you specifically a fascist or a racist. Please leave out the name-calling, Scott. If it's meant for me personally or my ideas or my "approach" to a particular issue, just drop it. It leads to no good. It pisses off your opponent. Which is just what a troll tactic is meant to accomplish ... And I'm sure you know this.
