Are crass ad hominem attacks really acceptable here?[edit]

"Narad is a tremendous douche suffering from Dunning-Kruger."

This is just plain rude. It also sounds like the insult a teenager would use. — Unsigned, by: Megsaint / talk / contribs

This seems like an argumentum ad argumentum ad hominem, given that we're not trying to debate their ideas, just stating that they are a tremendous douche suffering from Dunning-Kruger. ๐’ฎ๐“…๐“‡๐’พโ„Šโ„Š๐’พ๐“ƒ๐’ถ (๐“‰๐’ถ๐“๐“€) (๐’ธโ„ด๐“ƒ๐“‰๐“‡๐’พ๐’ท๐“ˆ) @ 22:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

I note that this edit was made by former window-washer Travis Schwochert, who has been repeatedly banned for sockpuppetry at RI. Whatever; it's true that the former Herr Doktor Bimler was the wittiest commenter. Might as well stet it. Narad from RI (talk) 21:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
