        yes they’re attacking your argument and position as incoherent because of the use of language, terms and punctuation render it unintelligible, not because of who you are as a person.

        which they didn’t do. they said they didn’t understand you, explained why they didn’t understand, and then asked that you either explain or restate.

        you abusing the definition of ad hominem seems like a gish gallop
