I wonder, perhaps, if there's a better way to articulate a given position without resorting to ad hominem attacks.

Stating that an argument is completely dishonest and disingenuous isn't an ad hominem attack. It's who is repeatedly resorting to strawman arguments and misrepresentations of what I've stated over and over. You're essentially doing the same thing right now.

My comment was regards to the "you're full of shit" statement. I wonder if there's a better way to appeal to convince than such a phrase.

Doesn't change the fact that it's not an ad hominem attack. I'm talking about his behavior here where he falls back on strawman arguments again and again, misrepresents what I've stated and ignores most of what I've said and pretends as if he hadn't seen it to debate dishonestly.

When people are people incredibly dishonest and underhanded, I'm not going to be polite to them, sorry. It's odd you're choosing to defend the person who has repeatedly engaged in those tactics and you're attacking me for calling them out for it. Really not a good look for you.

After re-reading my statements, I'm convinced I'm not defending either of you.

I already know you support and work with abusers so it's not really a surprise to see you trying to tone police in a dishonest way.

> I already know you support and work with abusers
This is a serious accusation. Please state your evidence.

You said so to me yourself. Are you now denying that you work with the group of people who have orchestrated a libel and harassment campaign targeting me including publishing a 1 hour hit piece full of fabrications about me on YouTube? You previously admitted you do.

I once told you I have a "slight relationship with Nick."
Taken in context, that "slight relationship" is that we both have talked to each other about our work with Tor and privacy. That's it.
If you have any hard evidence of me working with any known abuser, please show it.

They are a known abuser. They are well documented as engaging in a libel and harassment campaign towards me including trying to push spin that I'm delusional, insane, etc. They worked with a YouTube influencer who orchestrated most of the harassment and libel campaign towards me.
You've also stated you work with other people who are involved in that. I'm not stating anything untrue about you. I brought this up to you and your behavior was to try to make excuses for it and deny that publicly documented things have happened, i.e. gaslighting.

At the time of my discussions with Nick, I myself was wholly unaware of his actions towards you. I apologize for my ignorance in that particular matter.
That said, my ignorance does NOT mean I work for or with them.
