You say I've only made straw-man arguments. Illuminate them. You say I'm "outside the scope of my argument." Demonstrate why. Really, what you've said, in 1000 words or more, is "You're wrong, but you're too offensive for me to bother explaining why." That's not debate, that's not even invective. It's this: Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but apparent character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions. Say what you will about my language, I'm the only person in this discussion that has actually talked about facts. Unless that changes, I don't really see the point in continuing. Making people mad is easy - as you're clearly demonstrating. I can do that anywhere. If you actually have an argument, make it. Otherwise, run along.
