I said that to you because I've seen you, as a mod, get on people for far less. Second your post was a blatant ad hominem. Third, I didn't bother to read chit. Is that legit enough for you?
First of all, an ad hominem is when you try to dismiss someone's argument on the basis of attacking their character. It is not synonymous with "petty insult". What I did was I pointed out the gaping flaw in his argument,
then resorted to the petty insults. It's an argumentative tactic that FSTDT was once quite well known for, so don't get self-righteous with me when I have seen you do this exact thing in the past.
Second of all, I already agreed with you that this wasn't the place to do it. I acknowledge my mistakes. Furthermore, I am no longer a mod, and one of those reasons is that I didn't feel like I was that good of a moderator.
Third, you didn't even need to read Chit's post. I mentioned that I disagreed with him on one point. That gave you all the information you needed to understand that I wasn't the first to bring it up. I understand you tl;dr's Chit's post, but maybe you could hone your reading comprehension so that you can read
four sentences more thoroughly? I don't use words pointlessly, every word I use has a meaning, and it bothers me when people clearly miss these words so they can misinterpret my posts as they see fit.
Finally, the entire reason I did it was to change an ableist insult to a non-ableist insult, because quite frankly I think that it's more clever to insult someone without implying that they are mentally defiient.
