While that is correct, it’s not what the comment you replied to did. There’s no criticisim to you as a person. It simply says that the argument reads as “whataboutism” so yup, your reply doesn’t really make sense.
Are you isolating that comment alone, while ignoring the original comment? I was talking about that one. Not any towards me, but the original OP.
I mentioned that they did not have any response, other than trying to poison the well and implying stuff about the memes community, OP and other posters.
It may have seemed like that since you were not the commentor who I was replying to and did not follow the comment chain. And I did ask if it would be better to term it as ‘poisoning the well’.
Not the issue, no. Your reply just didn’t make sense. No one, at any point, made an “ad hominem” attack/comment. Also, that term and “poisoning the well” have nothing to do with each other.
I’m not sure you know what ad hominem means.
Attacking the person and not the point?
Should I have termed it as ‘Poisoning the well’ or something else?
What term would you have used?

You replied to the wrong comment then ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ why would you reply to the second comment if you were referring to the first?
Because it was a continuation of the convo?
Didn’t seem that way since neither the original comment nor their response is an “ad hominem” attack. But ok dude, you do you.
