    If you recognize that you used the wrong word, say “I apologize, you’re right, I used the wrong term” and then simply rephrase your argument.

    I went back and checked what I wrote in my argument. Now your argument is pretending there is an incorrect statement in my argument.

    These policies are always racist. Your argument misrepresenting my argument will not change this.

    You claimed an opinion was a fact and that I was factually wrong for having a different opinion than you.

    No, what I claimed is a fact. What your argument claims is false. False claims are not opinions.

    It’s not “splitting hairs” to point out you have no clue what you’re talking about. Stop trying to make it my fault you said something absolutely ridiculous and I called it outs

    Ad hominem attacks against me aren’t compelling.

      No, not pretending. You are confusing fact with opinion. That’s actually a fact.

      Ad hominem attacks against me aren’t compelling.

      And accusing me of “splitting hairs” instead of addressing my actual argument is also an ad hominem. You’re basically undercutting your own position.

        Your argument is definitely the one pretending and the one confusing incorrect facts as an opinion.

        And accusing me of “splitting hairs” instead of addressing my actual argument is also an ad hominem.

        Your argument attempted to split hairs.

        I’m sure it’s true in some cases, but the blanket claim that it’s the only reason is an opinion (and almost certainly an incorrect one at that).

        Your argument attempted to split hairs unsuccessfully. My argument’s statement was correct.

        You’re basically undercutting your own position.

        Your argument does this to itself.
