Hmm, lets see.

1 - I asked you not to tell random people that they're autistic because it's bad form (fact) and questioned your knowledge of the matter (my opinion). No personal attack on you has been made.

2 - You retaliated by contradicting yourself and sending two ad hominem attacks at me. No attempt to disprove my claim of your lack of knowledge besides another deflection .

3 - I point out that you've contradicted yourself.

4 - You reply with another two ad hominem attacks on me.

Yeah, I rest my case. You enjoy your day.




> I asked you not to tell random people that they're autistic because it's bad form

False, you said I diagnosed them, I didn't, he diagnosed himself and I simply agreed he was probably right.

> No personal attack on you has been made.

False again, and I quote "But it goes triple for you, given your rudimentary understanding of aspergers, intellect, or how people learn to recognize emotions."

As you don't know me, that's absolutey a personal attack based on nothing.

> You retaliated by contradicting yourself

False, I contradicted nothing; I didn't diagnose anyone with anything and your repeating the lie doesn't make it true.

> and sending two ad hominem attacks at me

False, perhaps you need to look up ad hominem as well; insulting someone is not an ad hominem, it's only ad hominem if I claim your argument is wrong because of the insult.

> No attempt to disprove my claim of your lack of knowledge

Burden of proof. It's not my job to disprove your claims.

> Yeah, I rest my case. You enjoy your day.

I hope you're not a lawyer, because if that's your idea of a laying out a case, you'd be terrible at it.
