TropicalDingdong comments on Taking bets on if this person even lives near a Costco, or even on the same continent as one

Sounds like you've got an emotional attachment to a political party and feel as if you are being attacked.

Sounds like you have a reading comprehension problem. I downvoted you for being so condescending, it had nothing to do with politics.

You think the only reason someone would downvote you (god forbid) is because they're emotionally attached to a political party? That's laughable. Like I said earlier, get over yourself.

First sentence in your link:

A tone argument (also called tone policing) is a type of ad hominem aimed at the tone of an argument instead of its factual or logical content in order to dismiss a person's argument.

Please show me where I disagreed with anything you said. Where did I "dismiss a person's argument"? I'll wait. But I'll be waiting a long time because all I did was say I downvoted you for being so condescending.

Edit: typo

I mean weren't you quite literally just making an accusation of lacking reading comprehension?

You aren't engaging with the substance of my argument, and instead try and dismiss it based on its tone. As you said:

I downvoted you for being so condescending

You are tone policing. You can't/ won't engage with the substance, so you focus on the decorations of the argument.
