Wow, in two posts you've made your central arguments ad hominem and ad verecundiam.

I see you are attempting distraction by being the example for both of your erroneously used Latin terms.

First, my conversation was not with Dawkins and second, I was not appealing to authority in pointing out the consequences of the statements of others.

Now, your use of a reference to me was Ad Hominem and your use of the Latin terms was an appeal to authority.

your use of the Latin terms was an appeal to authority.

The sad thing is that you probably really believe that.
