Plural for ad hominem would be ad homines, it’s latin not english and in actuality there were no arguments for either of you. There were just statements. There is only a kind of a valid argument and that’s the deductive one ( if p then q, p, therefore q). You probably know that your discussant more likely does not even know what ad hominem is. Plus, you used an ad hominem yourself.
Of course that doesn’t mean your statements are wrong but in Kantian terms you’re practically-contradicting yourself.
A necessary condition of debating is for either party to understand each other. Your usage of language was not that with a purpose to be comprehensible but rather of establishing a superior status than the other person. As a more intellectual person you show to be, you should at least understand the context in which you speak and use the appropriate language in order to be comprehensible. In simple words, you were just showing off to Amir by using words he probably can’t even recognize. But being smarter, more educated and having a richer vocabulary has 0 correlation of being right (I’m not saying you are either right or wrong).
Just to make things clear, I’m not saying your usage of language was wrong, on the contrary it was right and on point, yet, the context in which you used them indicates that were just of showing off as you were already suspecting that your discussant, as well as the majority of the readers wouldn’t understand but you still did use them instead of “more-understandable” ones.
Lastly, it’s true that many d*ckheads roping just for tilting you, playing their cards and wait till the last second of the “end turn” to end it. Quite often even spamming greetings or thanks. And yes they have increased in numbers. And if you are grinding that’s a pain. Especially in high legend when the queue can last up to 7 minutes long and there’s a high chance you’ll face off the same opponent more than 3 times in a row. And playing slow in general includes you specifically too. Your point there was irrelevant. The fact that they play slow each of their matches does neither consoles me neither that it does not affect me because it is not exclusively targeted for me, both if it is or not, the case is the same.
You make a fair few good points. I appreciate the feedback. And I didn’t actually know about the plurality of the word before, that is a neat thing. Cheerios for that.
Unfortunately it’s rather difficult for me to switch back from the unintentional ad homines & showing off when someone has showed that they’re not in the discussion to argue in good faith and just come in to try and dismiss any points I make by claiming something without any actual evidence to back it up. I have zero respect for those with that kind of attitude. I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt but there’s usually no possibility of a healthy conversation after that certain invisible line is crossed, apart from maybe an apology (Which is rather rare to find around here in that kind of context.) in which case I would be more than happy to give the same in return.
I’ll have to improve on that. But sadly, that is a two-way street.
Well, showing off is not “bad”, if you’re “better” in some aspects, you are more that right to show it. My point there was to do it in an understandable-to-your-discussant-way, and to avoid yourself the mistakes you apportion to the other. I mean the iq gap between you two was already apparent enough. That’s why I decided to respond to you ( as you already understand your discussant did obviously way more mistakes and his statements were full of fallacies, not even worth to mention or replying).
Having no respect for those with that kind of attitude is totally acceptable, respect imo is earned, not freely given. and I admit, just from your response you have earned mine sir.
Honestly i hate people wich stall for time. But i kind of start to agree with this after seeing nothing but questlines in wild. We might as well stall and waste their time out of spite. After all this is how blizz intended it to work. thats why they are rewarding us by the time played instead of how many games you won.
edit: wut? i replied to pastuch and for some reason the quote got removed automaticly by blizz
Absolutely agree. There’s a new post on this and another similar issue here: Players are gaming the Hearthstone system Please comment on it (as I have done here) so maybe they’ll do something about our issue.
I see mage and have time - I will play but never end turn - let him suffer same as I am. When I dont have time I just quit cos this is game and playing against f… NPC is nonsense.
The biggest problem is when people have won the game, and they are just rubbing it in. If you forfeit, then you dont get quest advancement either. And if you can see it 2 rounds in advance, that they are just stalling time to mess you up, then it gets really infuriating.
I know you cant do much about it. But when you see them hovering over cars, moving the mouse. Thenm they arnt AFK. Make the rounds go faster.
The opponent has 2 cards in his hand (4-5 turns) and he waits until the last moment.
My one minute is precious, Aeru
There is respect for the opponent in the games. This is disrespectful !!!
Who are you ? Hmm.
Don’t worry, I won’t even deal with you, if you become my opponent, I will beat you one hundred percent, if you make me wait, it is your disrespect.
PS: Watch the V for Vendetta, maybe you’ll make a move that fits your nickname.
The devs fail at this game, they refuse to solve problem, if they think it is good. THEY ARE WRONG! Players dont even play this game because of bot & dailies. Hearthstone needs to REWORK COMPLETETLY and now how this game works is COMPLETETLY AWFUL.
I am so damn tired of players who afking after putting 1 card, PRETEND TO BE AFKING IT IS WHAT PLAYERS DO. WHY? FIX THIS, THE DEVS!!!
blad I rope people all the time but I get where manz iz coming from. roping to annoy people is fun though so you know i’m gonna keep doing it for the lolz safe blud.
Then they should post this topic ( OP Decks ) on the forum many times. No one has the right to disrespect anyone.
PS: OP decks have already ruined this game. Blizzard should thank its excellent design team.
Browse the forum a bit, can you see any nice messages? Mostly dissatisfaction. These posts show how excellent the team is.
